Conversion formula

Forward

gigabytes = megabits per second × 0.000125

Reverse

megabits per second = gigabytes × 8,000

Example: 10 Mbps × 0.000125 = 0.00125 GB.

About both units

From

Megabit per Second

Mbps

Megabits per second (Mbps) is the standard ISP and network-speed unit. 100 Mbps equals 12.5 MB/s download speed. 1 Gbps = 1000 Mbps. Note that marketing "up to" speeds are peak, not sustained.

Real-world: Home fibre: 100–1000 Mbps. 4G mobile: 10–50 Mbps. 5G: 100–1000+ Mbps. Wi-Fi 6: up to 9.6 Gbps theoretical.

Gigabyte

The gigabyte equals 1,000,000,000 bytes (SI) or 1,073,741,824 bytes (binary, GiB). Standard unit for USB drives, SSDs, mobile-data allowances and RAM. A 64 GB phone holds about 15,000 photos.

Real-world: Smartphone: 64 GB / 128 GB / 256 GB typical. PC RAM: 16 GB / 32 GB common. UHD movie: 20–50 GB.

Tips & common mistakes

Quick tips

1 Mbps = 1,000,000 bits/s = 125 kB/s.
Divide Mbps by 8 to get MB/s approximate.
Real-world speeds are usually 50–80% of advertised peak.

Avoid these

Expecting 100 Mbps to deliver 100 MB/s — 8× overstatement.
Confusing Mbps (bits) and MBps (bytes) — capitalisation matters.
Comparing Wi-Fi speed (theoretical) with actual throughput.
