Mbps to Kbps – Megabits to Kilobits (1 Mbps = 1000 Kbps)

Quickly convert internet speeds from Mbps to Kbps for bitrate comparisons, low‑bandwidth diagnostics, or legacy spec sheets.

1. Formula

Kbps = Mbps × 1000   |   Mbps = Kbps ÷ 1000

Example: 12.5 Mbps × 1000 = 12,500 Kbps

2. Quick Reference

  • 0.5 Mbps = 500 Kbps
  • 1 Mbps = 1000 Kbps
  • 5 Mbps = 5000 Kbps
  • 10 Mbps = 10000 Kbps
  • 25 Mbps = 25000 Kbps
  • 100 Mbps = 100000 Kbps

3. How to Convert

  1. Take your Mbps value.
  2. Multiply by 1000 for Kbps.
  3. Round for display (no decimals usually needed).
  4. Need KB/s? Divide Mbps by 8 first.

4. Common Uses

Streaming bitrate comparison, VoIP minimums, IoT link budgeting, network throttling policies, SLA verification.

5. Accuracy & Tips

  • Most ISPs market decimal (1000) units—not binary.
  • Overhead (TCP/SSL/etc.) means real throughput is lower.
  • Speed tests fluctuate—average multiple runs.
  • For file transfer estimates: time (s) ≈ (size in MB × 8) ÷ Mbps.

6. Worked Examples

18 Mbps → 18 × 1000 = 18,000 Kbps

256 Kbps DSL → 256 ÷ 1000 = 0.256 Mbps

7. Quick FAQ

Why use Kbps? Finer granularity for low/legacy or audio bitrates.

Binary ever used here? No—network line rates use decimal multiples.

Mbps vs MB/s? 1 MB/s = 8 Mbps.
