What does bandwidth, Kbps and Mbps mean?
All three terms refer to the speed of your internet connection, with bandwidth being measured in Kbps or Mbps. • Bandwidth – the capacity of your internet connection to send and receive data. Imagine your internet connection is a pipe – the bigger the pipe (or bandwidth) – the faster the information will flow. • Kbps – stands for Kilobits per second. Kbps is used to measure bandwidth, the higher the number, the faster the information is sent or received. • Mbps – stands for Megabits per second. Mbps is also used to measure bandwidth, with 1 Megabit (MB) equivalent to 1000 Kbps.
