Detailed explanation-1: -The bandwidth of a signal depends, as with speed, on bits per second. With some exceptions, the higher the bps number, the greater the nominal signal bandwidth and the better the connection for internet-connected devices.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bandwidth is the data transfer capacity of a network in bits per second (Bps). The term may also be used colloquially to indicate a person’s capacity for tasks or deep thoughts at a point in time.
Detailed explanation-3: -According to the definition of the bandwidth, it is the width of the frequency spectrum. Hence bandwidth should be measured in Hz. But bps, Mbps, kbps have been used as the measurement of bandwidth almost everywhere.
Detailed explanation-4: -Consider a communication network of bandwidth 100 Mbps. The maximum bit rate that is possible over the communication channel is 100 Mbps. However, the actual bit rate may be less than 100 Mbps and can never cross the bandwidth value.
Detailed explanation-5: -The abbreviation bps is often used to mean bit/s, so that when a 1 Mbps connection is advertised, it usually means that the maximum achievable bandwidth is 1 Mbit/s (one million bits per second), which is 0.125 MB/s (megabyte per second), or about 0.1192 MiB/s (mebibyte per second).
