Why this conversion matters

People often think the line is broken when 100 Mbps does not mean 100 MB/s in a download window. It is not broken. Mbps and MB/s use different unit sizes.

This page fixes the confusion fast and gives the number in the format many apps, launchers and file copy windows actually show.

Typical use cases

  • Checking whether your download speed is normal
  • Comparing internet packages against real-world transfer rates
  • Explaining why a file copy or game launcher looks slower than the ISP headline number
