It supports bits per second (bps), kilobits (Kbps), megabits (Mbps), gigabits (Gbps), and their byte equivalents (KBps, MBps, GBps).
Mbps is megabits per second (used for internet speeds). MBps is megabytes per second (used for file transfer speeds). 1 MBps equals 8 Mbps.
Internet providers advertise speeds in megabits (Mbps). Your download manager shows megabytes (MBps). Divide the Mbps value by 8 to get the MBps equivalent.
At 100 Mbps (megabits per second), 1 GB (8 gigabits) takes 80 seconds. Use the converter to calculate download times for any speed and file size.
Bandwidth is the maximum theoretical data rate. Throughput is the actual data rate achieved in practice, which is always lower due to network overhead and congestion.
Your plan speed is the maximum. Actual speeds depend on server capacity, network congestion, Wi-Fi signal strength, and your device's hardware.
Netflix recommends at least 25 Mbps for 4K Ultra HD streaming. YouTube recommends 20 Mbps for 4K at 60fps.
