About these units
The megabyte per second (MB/s) is a metric unit of data transfer rate, equal to 8,000,000 bits per second.
The megabit per second (Mbps) is a metric unit of data transfer rate, equal to 1,000,000 bits per second.
Going the other way, 1 megabit per second = 0.125 megabytes per second. Internet plans are sold in megabits per second, but download managers report megabytes per second. There are 8 bits in a byte, so a 100 Mbps line tops out around 12.5 MB/s. This converter makes that arithmetic instant.
