Kbps to Mbps Converter
1,000 kbps = 1 Mbps. Divide kbps by 1,000 to convert to Mbps. Example: 512 kbps = 0.512 Mbps.
Formula
Formula
Mbps = kbps ÷ 1,000
Worked example
To convert 3,000 kbps to Mbps: 3,000 ÷ 1,000 = 3 Mbps.

Unit definitions
Kilobit per Second (kbit/s)
Kilobit per second (kbps) — 1 kbps = 1,000 bits/s. Used for DSL connections, audio streaming, and older network technologies.
Megabit per Second (Mbit/s)
Megabit per second (Mbps) — 1 Mbps = 1,000 kbps. The standard unit for modern internet speed measurement.
Common use cases
