Gbps → Mbps (Simple Conversion)

Core Idea: 1 Gbps = 1000 Mbps. Just multiply by 1000.

Formula

Mbps = Gbps × 1000

Quick Values

• 0.25 Gbps → 250 Mbps
• 0.5 Gbps → 500 Mbps
• 1 Gbps → 1000 Mbps
• 2.5 Gbps → 2500 Mbps
• 10 Gbps → 10000 Mbps

3‑Step Example (2.5 Gbps)

1. Take 2.5
2. × 1000
3. = 2500 Mbps

Uses

• Plan comparison (ISP marketing)
• LAN upgrades (1 → 2.5/5/10 Gbps)
• Server uplink sizing
• Streaming / gaming capacity

Accuracy & Tips

• Expect ~940 Mbps on “1 Gbps” due to overhead
• Check cable (Cat5e OK to 1 G, Cat6+ for multi‑gig)
• Remember: MB/s = Mbps ÷ 8

Examples

• 1.2 Gbps → 1200 Mbps
• 5 Gbps → 5000 Mbps
• 0.8 Gbps → 800 Mbps

FAQ

Why not full 1000? Protocol overhead.

Need multi‑gig? Large file workflows / many heavy users.

Convert to MB/s? Divide Mbps by 8.
