📚 Understanding Bandwidth

What is Bandwidth?

Bandwidth is defined as the bit-rate of available or consumed information and is typically expressed in units of bits per second (along with its metric multiples).

Bits vs Bytes

A bit is the smallest unit of information (0 or 1). A byte consists of 8 bits. Data transfer rates use bits, while storage uses bytes.

Real-World Usage

The amount of bandwidth needed depends on usage. Streaming video requires more bandwidth than browsing websites or sending emails.

Common Internet Connection Speeds

Connection Type Speed
Modem / Dialup 56 kbit/s
ADSL 8-24 Mbit/s
Cable Internet 25-1000 Mbit/s
Fiber Optic 100-10000 Mbit/s
4G LTE 5-100 Mbit/s
5G 100-3000 Mbit/s
