my computer says im connected at 100.0 mbps how does that converte to megs?

Answer 1

when your computer says it is connected at 100.0 mb/s it means the connection between your computer via cat5 to your cable modem/dsl modem or router etc.. is at 100 megabits a second. 100 megabits is equal to 12.5 megabytes / second

anything with a little b is bits and with a big B is bytes for example
mbps/mBps or kbps/kBps

Answer 2

Network connections are measured in megaBITS per second, NOT MegaBYTES per second.

Mb = Megabits
MB = Megabytes

100 Megabits = 12.5 Megabytes (8 bits to a byte).

Then you have to factor in overhead of the transmisssion, yoou usually see about 10-11 MB total through put. However, hard disk performance and other issues can affect actual throughput as well.

ipshwitz,

It is NOT Megabytes - reference:

Those speeds are what your interfaces are capable of doing. Not that your internet would ever be that speed. However, transferring data between 2 computers on the LAN side, the slowest speed will be the actual transfer speed. It's like having a 6 inch water pipe (Network card) - it can carry a lot of water, but if you simply put your garden hose into it (Internet connection), that's the most water you will get through it..

Answer 4

That IS megs. Mbps means "megabytes per second."

Answer 5

That doesn't convert to megabytes, that is megabytes.

100 megabytes per second.

If you want to break it down even further, there are 1024 bytes in a megabyte, so that is 102400 bytes per second.

Of course you can keep converting it to kilobytes, etc. But that's just kinda redundant.

Answer 6

100.0 Mbps

Answer 7

mbps = megabytes per second. thats the speed of transfer for your network. its not how fast your internet connection is.

Answer 8

well you can't actually transfer files that speed. thats just what your computer thinks
