What is Mbps → MB/s?
Internet plans and download speeds are almost always advertised in megabits per second (Mbps), while file sizes and download-progress bars are shown in megabytes per second (MB/s). The two are easy to confuse because they look almost identical.
How to use it
Type a value into either field — the other updates instantly using the fixed relationship of 8 bits per byte, along with a few handy extras like Gbps and an estimated download time for a 1 GB file.
Example
100 Mbps -> 12.5 MB/s
A 1 GB file at 12.5 MB/s takes about 82 seconds.
