What is data rate?
Data transfer rate, or bandwidth, is how much data moves per second. Internet providers and network equipment measure it in bits per second (bps, kbps, Mbps, Gbps), while download managers, browsers and disk benchmarks usually show bytes per second (kB/s, MB/s). Since a byte is 8 bits, divide an advertised speed in Mbps by 8 to get the fastest possible download in MB/s.
Real downloads are a little slower than that, because of protocol overhead (typically 5–10%), network congestion and Wi-Fi conditions.

Frequently asked questions
How many MB/s is 100 Mbps?
100 megabits per second is 12.5 megabytes per second at most, since there are 8 bits in a byte.
What is a good internet speed?
For a household, 100 Mbps comfortably handles several 4K streams (about 25 Mbps each), video calls and gaming. Gigabit fiber offers 1,000 Mbps.
Is Mbps the same as MBps?
No. Mbps (lowercase b) is megabits per second; MBps or MB/s (capital B) is megabytes per second, 8 times larger.
