How to convert Megabits per second to Kilobits per second
To convert megabits per second to kilobits per second, multiply by 1,000. One megabit per second equals 1,000 kbps, and one kilobit per second equals 0.001 Mbps.
- Take the value in megabits per second — for example 7.5 Mbps.
- Multiply by 1,000 (the number of kilobits per second in one megabit per second).
- 7.5 × 1,000 = 7,500 kbps.
Shortcut: the factor is a power of ten, so just move the decimal point 3 places to the right.

The units
1,000,000 bits per second.
Used for: Broadband and mobile speeds.
1,000 bits per second.
Used for: Audio bitrates and slow connections.
Network speeds use decimal prefixes: 1 kbps = 1,000 bits per second and 1 Mbps = 1,000,000 bits per second. Remember 8 bits = 1 byte when comparing with download sizes.
