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 KB/s to Gbps

To convert kilobytes per second to gigabits per second, multiply the kilobyte per second value by 0.000008. You can also divide by 125000 to get the same answer.

Gbit/s = kB/s × 0.000008

Worked example

Convert 15 kB/s to gigabits per second:

15 kB/s = 0.00012 Gbit/s

What is a kilobyte per second?

A kilobyte per second is 8,000 bits per second. Download managers report progress in bytes per second, while providers advertise bits per second.

What is a gigabit per second?

A gigabit per second is one billion bits per second. Gigabit Ethernet and fibre broadband tiers are rated in Gbps.
