Paste one conversion per line, written the way you would say it: "5 km to mi". Handy for a column copied out of a spreadsheet.

About this tool

Converts between bit rates and byte rates: megabits per second to megabytes per second, gigabit connections to real download speeds. Internet plans are sold in bits and download managers report bytes, which is a factor of eight and a recurring surprise.

Questions people actually ask

Why is my 300 Mb/s connection downloading at 37 MB/s?
It is not slow - it is the same speed in a different unit. A byte is eight bits, so 300 Mb/s is 37.5 MB/s. Providers advertise bits; browsers and download managers report bytes.
