Since a Mbps is a unit of data transfer rate equal to 1,000,000 bits per second, and there are 8 bits in a byte, a transfer speed of 180 Mbps is equivalent to 22,500,000 bytes per second which translates into 22,500 Kbps if we assume 1,000 bytes/Kb

180 Mbps = 180,000,000 bits per second
= 22,500,000 bytes ...
