How to Convert Megabits Per Second to Gigabits Per Second
To convert megabits per second to gigabits per second, divide by 1,000. Both units measure network bandwidth in bits per second—the difference is simply the scale. Learn more: Gbps to Mbps calculator.
Mbps: A megabit per second is 1,000,000 bits per second. The standard unit for home internet speeds. Common uses include Home internet speeds, WiFi connections, streaming video quality. Check out our convert Mbps to Zbps.
Gbps: A gigabit per second is 1,000 megabits per second. Used for fiber internet and enterprise networking. Typically used for Fiber internet, enterprise networks, data center connections, 10GbE. You might also need: MB/s → Gbps.
1 Mbps = 0.001 Gbps — or equivalently, 1 Gbps = 1,000Mbps.
Mbps to Gbps Conversion Formula
// Convert Mbps to Gbps
Gbps = Mbps × 0.001
// Reverse: Convert Gbps to Mbps
Mbps = Gbps × 1,000
Mbps to Gbps Conversion Examples
10 Mbps = 0.01 Gbps
50 Mbps = 0.05 Gbps
100 Mbps = 0.1 Gbps
500 Mbps = 0.5 Gbps
1,000 Mbps = 1 Gbps
What Is Megabit Per Second (Mbps)?
A megabit per second is 1,000,000 bits per second. The standard unit for home internet speeds. You might also need: Terabits Per Second to Terabytes Per Second.
The megabit per second is a bit-based bandwidth unit measuring data transfer speed, network bandwidth, or throughput capacity. Related: Nibbles to Terabytes converter.
