Result
1 mbit/s =
0.125 MB/s (megabyte/s)
1 Mbit/s (Mbps) × 0.125 = 0.125 MB/s (megabyte/s)
The working
- 1. Convert 1 Mbit/s (Mbps) to bit/ss: 1 × 1,000,000 = 1,000,000.
- 2. Convert to MB/s (megabyte/s): 1,000,000 ÷ 8,000,000 = 0.125.

Formula and worked example
megabytes per second = megabits per second × 0.125.
Convert 100 megabits per second to megabytes per second: 100 × 0.125 = 12.5 MB/s.
When you need this
Internet speeds are sold in megabits per second (Mbps), but download managers show megabytes per second (MB/s). Divide by 8 to see how fast files will really download.
Questions people ask
How many megabytes per second are in a megabit per second?
One megabit per second is 0.125 megabytes per second.
How do I convert megabits per second to megabytes per second?
Multiply the number of megabits per second by 0.125, or divide by 8.
What is 200 Mbps in MB/s?
200 megabits per second is 25 megabytes per second.
How do I convert megabytes per second back to megabits per second?
Multiply by 8: one megabyte per second is 8 megabits per second.

How we calculate this
Network speeds use decimal (SI) prefixes: 1 kbit/s = 1,000 bit/s; one byte is eight bits, so 1 MB/s = 8 Mbit/s. Source: IEEE 1541 / SI prefixes.
