About data transfer rate units
Network speeds are quoted in bits per second (Mbps) while download dialogs show bytes per second (MB/s). Because a byte is eight bits, a 100 Mbps connection tops out around 12.5 MB/s before protocol overhead.

Frequently asked questions
What is the SI unit of data transfer rate?
This converter uses the bit per second (bit/s) as its reference unit; every other unit is defined relative to it.
How many data transfer rate units can I convert?
16 units are supported here, across Other, SI systems. Every pair can be converted in both directions.
Does this data transfer rate converter work offline?
Yes. Once the page has loaded, every calculation runs locally in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.
