To convert bandwidth usage from gigabytes (GB) to megabits (Mbits), you can use the following conversion factors:
1 byte = 8 bits
1 kilobyte (KB) = 1024 bytes
1 megabyte (MB) = 1024 KB
1 gigabyte (GB) = 1024 MB
1 megabit (Mbit) = 1,000,000 bits
Here's the step-by-step conversion:
Mathematically, the conversion can be expressed as:
Bandwidth in Mbits = (Bandwidth in GB×1024×8) × 1,000,000
Let's say you have a bandwidth usage of 100 GB in a month:
Bandwidth in Mbits = (100×1024×8) × 1,000,000
Performing the calculation will give you the bandwidth usage in megabits.
Here's a table of our common bandwidths and their usage in speed equivalent. This takes into account if you are to sustain that speed over the course of the monthly billing cycle.
| Monthly Usage (TB) | Mbit/s |
|---|---|
| 1 | 3.04 |
| 2 | 6.08 |
| 4 | 12.16 |
| 6 | 18.25 |
| 8 | 24.33 |
| 10 | 30.42 |
| 16 | 48.67 |
| 20 | 60.84 |
| 50 | 152.10 |
| 100 | 304.20 |
