Bandwidth is the amount of data that can be transferred over an internet connection in a certain amount of time.

In simple terms, it refers to how much information your internet can handle at once. Higher bandwidth usually means faster downloads, smoother streaming, and better performance when multiple devices are connected.

For example, if several people in a home are streaming videos, gaming, and browsing the internet at the same time, more bandwidth helps everything run smoothly. Another example is a motorway: the more lanes it has, the more cars can travel at once. Bandwidth works in a similar way—the more bandwidth you have, the more data can move through your internet connection at the same time.
