Detailed explanation-1: -The maximum amount of data transmitted over an internet connection in a given amount of time. Bandwidth is often mistaken for internet speed when it’s actually the volume of information that can be sent over a connection in a measured amount of time – calculated in megabits per second (Mbps).
Detailed explanation-2: -Bandwidth specifically refers to the capacity at which a network can transmit data. For example, if the bandwidth of a network is 40 Mbps, it implies that the network cannot transmit data faster than 40 Mbps in any given case.
Detailed explanation-3: -Bandwidth is a measure of how much information a network can transfer. The volume of data that can be transported varies, impacting how effectively a transmission medium, such as an internet connection, operates.
