An exact conversion

Connection speeds are quoted in megabits and file sizes in megabytes, and there are eight bits in a byte. A 100 Mbps connection downloads at 12.5 MB/s at best, which is why a 'fast' connection can feel slow when you watch a file transfer.

The formula

Megabytes = Megabits × 0.125

Every result on this page comes from this formula. Nothing is rounded until the final display, so figures match a spreadsheet to the cent.
