Data Rate Converter: bps to Mbps & Beyond (2025)
Use our data rate converter to switch between bps, Kbps, Mbps, Gbps, Tbps. Uses 1000-based (decimal) system for network speeds.
Conversion Table (1 Mbps = 1,000,000 bps)
| Unit | bps | Kbps | Mbps | Gbps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Kbps | 1,000 | 1 | 0.001 | 0.000001 |
| 1 Mbps | 1,000,000 | 1,000 | 1 | 0.001 |
| 1 Gbps | 1,000,000,000 | 1,000,000 | 1,000 | 1 |
| 1 Tbps | 1,000,000,000,000 | 1,000,000,000 | 1,000,000 | 1,000 |
How It Works
All conversions use 1000 as the base (decimal prefixes: k, M, G, etc.).
Formula: Result = Value × (1000 ^ (fromExponent - toExponent))
Examples
- 1000 Kbps → 1 Mbps
- 1 Gbps → 1000 Mbps
- 500 Mbps → 0.5 Gbps
FAQ
Is it 1000 or 1024?
Internet speeds use 1000 (decimal). Storage uses 1024. See File Size Converter.
What is Tbps?
Terabits per second. Used in backbone networks.
Why is my download slower?
ISPs show Mbps, downloads show MB/s. 1 MB/s = 8 Mbps.
Tips
- Check ISP plan in Mbps
- Convert for streaming, gaming
- Use with file size to estimate download time
