Convert kbps to Mbps
Kilobits per second to megabits per second. Enter a value to convert, or use the kbps to Mbps chart further down the page.
1 kilobit per second equals 0.001 megabits per second. Going the other way, 1 megabit per second = 1,000 kilobits per second.
Note. Network speeds use decimal SI multiples: 1 Mbps = 1,000,000 bits per second. Because a byte is 8 bits, a 100 Mbps connection downloads at about 12.5 MB/s.
How to convert kbps to Mbps
To convert kilobits per second to megabits per second, multiply the kilobit per second value by 0.001. You can also divide by 1000 to get the same answer.
Mbit/s = kbit/s × 0.001
Worked example
Convert 15 kbit/s to megabits per second:
15 kbit/s = 0.015 Mbit/s

What is a kilobit per second?
A kilobit per second is 1,000 bits per second. Dial-up modems topped out at 56 kbps; audio bitrates are still quoted this way.
What is a megabit per second?
Megabits per second is how internet providers advertise connection speed. Divide by 8 to get megabytes per second.
