How to Convert Gigabits Per Second to Kilobits Per Second
To convert gigabits per second to kilobits per second, multiply by 1,000,000. Both units measure network bandwidth in bits per second—the difference is simply the scale. Try the convert Kbps to Gigabits Per Second.
Gbps: A gigabit per second is 1,000 megabits per second. Used for fiber internet and enterprise networking. Common uses include Fiber internet, enterprise networks, data center connections, 10GbE. Try the Gigabits Per Second to Pbps calculator.
Kbps: A kilobit per second is 1,000 bits per second. Common for dial-up and low-speed connections. Typically used for Dial-up internet, audio streaming, VoIP calls. You might also need: EiB/s to Kilobits Per Second converter.
1 Gbps = 1,000,000 Kbps — which means there are 1,000,000kilobits per second in every gigabit per second.
Gbps to Kbps Conversion Formula
// Convert Gbps to Kbps
Kbps = Gbps × 1,000,000
// Reverse: Convert Kbps to Gbps
Gbps = Kbps × 0.000001
