Convert kbps to Gbps
Kilobits per second to gigabits per second. Enter a value to convert, or use the kbps to Gbps chart further down the page.
1 kilobit per second equals 0.000001 gigabits per second. Going the other way, 1 gigabit per second = 1,000,000 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 Gbps
To convert kilobits per second to gigabits per second, multiply the kilobit per second value by 0.000001. You can also divide by 1000000 to get the same answer.
Gbit/s = kbit/s × 0.000001
Worked example
Convert 15 kbit/s to gigabits per second:
15 kbit/s = 0.000015 Gbit/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 gigabit per second?
A gigabit per second is one billion bits per second. Gigabit Ethernet and fibre broadband tiers are rated in Gbps.
