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 |
