How to convert megabyte per second to megabit per second

Enter your data transfer rate in megabyte per second and see the result in megabit per second instantly. Key reference points: a 100 Mbps connection downloads at about 12.5 MB/s, a 1 Gbps fiber line transfers 125 MB/s, and the difference between megabits (Mb) and megabytes (MB) is a factor of 8.

Megabytes per second to megabits per second is the most-searched bandwidth conversion because ISPs advertise in Mbps while operating systems display downloads in MB/s. Multiply MB/s by 8 to get Mbps.
