What does this tool do?

Internet providers advertise speeds in megabits per second (Mbps), but downloads show megabytes per second (MB/s). There are 8 bits in a byte, so a 100 Mbps connection downloads at most 12.5 MB/s.

Operating systems sometimes use binary units (MiB/s = 1,048,576 bytes per second), which look slightly smaller still.

Why use it?

  • Bits and bytes side by side.
  • Decimal and binary units.
  • Reference table.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my download slower than my plan?

Besides bits vs bytes, protocol overhead, Wi-Fi and the server's own speed typically take another 5–20%.
