Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert MB/s to Mbps?
Multiply by 8. A download running at 12.5 MB/s corresponds to a 100 Mbps connection.
What connection do I need for 25 MB/s?
25 × 8 = 200 Mbps as an absolute minimum, and realistically more, since no connection sustains its full rated speed once overhead and contention are accounted for.
Why do speed tests show Mbps but downloads show MB/s?
Network engineering measures links in bits per second, so ISPs and speed tests use megabits. File sizes are measured in bytes, so download managers report megabytes. Both describe the same transfer — one is simply 8 times the other.
What speed do I need for 4K streaming?
Around 25 Mbps, which is about 3.1 MB/s. HD streaming needs roughly 5 Mbps (0.6 MB/s), so a single 100 Mbps line comfortably carries several 4K streams at once.
