📶 Bandwidth Calculator

Convert between bandwidth units (Mbps, Gbps, MB/s) and calculate file transfer times.

Understanding Bandwidth Units

Bandwidth is measured in bits per second (bps). Internet speeds are typically quoted in Megabits per second (Mbps), while file transfer rates are often shown in Megabytes per second (MB/s). Note that 1 byte = 8 bits, so 100 Mbps = 12.5 MB/s.

Bandwidth vs Throughput

Bandwidth is the maximum data transfer rate, while throughput is the actual rate achieved. Real-world throughput is typically lower due to protocol overhead, network congestion, and latency.
