In simple terms Bandwidth is the carrying capacity of a connection: how much data it can move in a second. It is usually written in megabits per second, or Mbps. Picture a pipe. Bandwidth is how wide the pipe is, not how fast any single drop travels down it. How it works Download and upload
Bandwidth is how much data a connection can carry each second, usually measured in megabits per second, and quoted separately for download and upload.
