Bandwidth is the amount of data that can be transmitted over a network in a certain amount of time. Bandwidth is measured in Mbps (megabits per second), Kbps (kilobits per second), or bps (bits per second). If the bandwidth of a network is 1 Mbps, then 1 megabit of data can be transmitted over that network in 1 second. The actual rate of transfer of data will vary depending on the ISPs equipment, the type of Internet connection, and the number of people using the same connection at one time. You can use various types of technologies, such as dial-up and cable modem, to connect to the Internet. Each technology supports a different bandwidth. Sometimes you might connect to the Internet by using more than one type of connection. For example, in some airports, you can use a wireless connection to connect to a cable modem. In this case, your connection speed is only as fast as the slower of the connections. The following table describes the various types of Internet connections. |

If you use a DSL connection, you are always connected to the Internet. A type of DSL connection is the asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) connection. To use an ADSL connection, you must have a special ADSL modem. The date transfer rate of DSL Internet connection is 384 kbps to 8 Mbps. |

You can connect to the Internet by using wireless technology. When you connect to the Internet by using wireless technology, it further connects to wired connections such as a cable modem. Although you may connect to a high-speed cable connection, this wireless connection might not provide you the full data transfer rates of the wired connection. The data transfer rates of wireless Internet connections can range from 11 Mbps to 45 Mbps. Some wireless connections support a bandwidth of several gigabits per second (Gbps). |
