About data transfer conversions
Internet speeds are sold in megabits per second (Mbps); downloads show megabytes per second (MB/s). 8 bits make a byte.

Frequently asked questions
Which data transfer units can I convert?
bits per second (bit/s), kilobits per second (kbit/s), megabits per second (Mbit/s), gigabits per second (Gbit/s), bytes per second (B/s), kilobytes per second (kB/s), megabytes per second (MB/s), gigabytes per second (GB/s), mebibytes per second (MiB/s).
How accurate are the results?
Every unit is stored with its exact defining factor (NIST SP 811, NIST Handbook 44 or the BIPM SI Brochure). Calculations use double-precision arithmetic and are rounded only for display, to 5 significant figures by default (trailing zeros dropped, so 1 km shows as 1000 m). You can choose Auto (up to 10 digits), fixed decimals or more significant figures, or switch to scientific or engineering notation.
