1)Hub is a layer 1(physical layer)device whereas switch is a layer 2(datalink) device.
2)Hub sends data to all ports unnecessarily.so in this way it shared bandwidth whereas switch sends data to exact that port which required it after learning destination MAC address.so here is a dedicate bandwidth.

How switch faster as compare to hub?
Most of the time, a switch will send information only to the destination, while a hub will send to all of its ports. That makes the hub inefficient - in a hub, only one computer can transmit at a time.Most of the time, a switch will send information only to the destination, while a hub will send to all of its ports.

What is the difference between a route switch and a hub?
Hi all,The main differance between the a switch and Hub is the hub will disribute the data among the system.(For eg: a hub have 8 port and in each system is connected and if a a system send a data of 100 mbps then all the system will share the data among themself and by the end system 100/8 it will send or get around 12.5mbps.) but incase of switch is won't do such things instead it will send the data as the same amount as it sends from the source.
What is the Difference between modem and hub?
This is actually just a modem. A hub is a device with multiple ports for connecting computers to each other. A hub is now rarely used as a network switch is a faster more reliable device. Confusion comes from people like BT who supply what they call a home hub, which is actually a wireless router, they use the term home hub to refer to the central point (as in hub of a wheel) connection, probably because it's bright young designers never heard of a network hub!
