What is bandwidth in simple terms?
What is bandwidth in simple terms?
Bandwidth means the most data that can be uploaded or downloaded by your internet connection at once. For an easy way to understand bandwidth, think of it as a pipe. If your pipe is wide (high bandwidth), more data will be able to get through, and so the faster your internet will be. If your pipe is narrow (low bandwidth), your speeds will be slow because less data can get through at the same time.
