Megabits per second to kilobytes per second
Type a value in Mbps to get it in kB/s instantly.
12,500kB/s
That's 2× as fast as 4G mobile, while cable broadband is 2× faster. A 4 GB movie would take 5.333 minutes to download.
What it means
How fast is that connection?
Advertised speeds are maximums. Real transfers lose 10 to 20% to protocol overhead before anything else slows them down.
The math
How to convert Mbps to kB/s
To convert megabits per second to kilobytes per second, multiply by 125.
Example: 100 Mbps × 125 = 12,500 kB/s.
In the other direction, 1 kB/s = 0.008 Mbps.

About these units
Megabits per second (Mbps)
A megabit per second is a million bits per second, the unit broadband is advertised in. Divide by 8 for megabytes per second.
Kilobytes per second (kB/s)
A kilobyte per second is 8 kilobits per second. Older downloads and slow connections are usually shown this way.
