Bandwidth

When referring to your own connection, bandwidth is the total maximum capacity of your network or modem connection. A MODEMs bandwidth is measured in BPS. The more bandwidth you have, the faster you will be able to receive and/or send information.

If bandwidth is being shared, you will likely not be able to reach the maximum capacity of the bandwidth when other computers, users or other devices are utilizing the same line.
  • Users looking for methods of testing their Internet bandwidth, please see document CH000539.
  • See document CH000637 for additional information about limiting their upload bandwidth.
