About Data Transfer Rate Conversions
Data transfer rate measures how fast data moves over a network connection. Internet providers advertise speeds in bits per second — megabits per second (Mbps) is the standard for broadband and mobile plans — while file managers and download progress bars show bytes per second (MB/s). Since 1 byte equals 8 bits, a 100 Mbps connection tops out around 12.5 MB/s in practice, which is the single most common source of "why is my download slower than my internet plan" confusion. This converter uses decimal SI prefixes (1 Kbit/s = 1,000 bit/s), matching how ISPs and networking equipment advertise speeds — unlike storage capacity, which sometimes uses binary prefixes.
