Convert Mbps to kbps
Megabits per second to kilobits per second. Enter a value to convert, or use the Mbps to kbps chart further down the page.
1 megabit per second equals 1,000 kilobits per second. Going the other way, 1 kilobit per second = 0.001 megabits 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 Mbps to kbps
To convert megabits per second to kilobits per second, multiply the megabit per second value by 1000. You can also divide by 0.001 to get the same answer.
kbit/s = Mbit/s × 1000
Worked example
Convert 15 Mbit/s to kilobits per second:
15 Mbit/s = 15,000 kbit/s

What is a megabit per second?
Megabits per second is how internet providers advertise connection speed. Divide by 8 to get megabytes per second.
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.
