Megabits (Mbit) to Exabits (Ebit) Conversion

Megabits

The megabit (Mbit) is a unit of digital information equal to exactly 1,000,000 bits (10⁶ bits). It is the standard unit for expressing internet connection speeds: a "100 Mbps" broadband connection transfers 100 million bits per second, equivalent to 12.5 megabytes (MB/s). This factor-of-8 difference between megabits and megabytes is a frequent source of consumer confusion when comparing marketed connection speeds against actual file download rates.

Exabits

The exabit (Ebit) is a unit of digital information equal to 10¹⁸ bits (1,000 petabits). Global monthly internet traffic reached approximately 400–500 exabytes per month in 2022, illustrating the scale at which the world's data infrastructure operates. The term is primarily used in aggregate traffic analysis, network capacity planning for national and international infrastructure, and projections of global data growth.
