About this conversion

Broadband plans in Singapore are sold in Mbps and Gbps, while download managers show MB/s, so converting between them shows how fast files really arrive.

For everyday use, three or four significant figures are usually enough. Engineering, science and trade documents may need more, and rounding should happen only at the end of a calculation.

A conversion table is handy for common values, but a calculator is faster and avoids interpolation errors for anything in between.
