What is the difference between upload and download bandwidth?
Broadband connections typically have a certain amount of information that can be received by your computer, and transmitted back to the internet. Basically this means that you can send and receive information at different rates. Receiving information from the internet, or downloading, is usually set to a higher speed since most activities require you to download much more information from the internet than you send out to the internet, or upload. Sending pictures, using a webcam, or uploading files will take longer when you have less upload bandwidth.
