Difference between Internet speed and bandwidth
internet speed and bandwidth are technically different. Bandwidth is referring the maximum amount of data that can be transmitted in a fixed amount of time through the network while speed is the time taken to reach the data (in form of packets) from source to destination. So we can see bandwidth is a fixed one while network speed can vary. Network speed depends on many factors like the protocol using to send data, server efficiency ,network conjunction etc. In practical life a
user feels the Internet speed by downloading certain files from server to his computer. Yes it is true high bandwidth really helps to download the file faster but there are some other factors are there. If he is downloading the file (consider a big
file like video) from a slow server, he feels his Internet speed is very less. Actually his Internet bandwidth is good enough but the speed of data transfer is limited by the response delay of the remote server.
Another factor really affect the Internet speed is the kind of protocol they use. The speed of data transfer vary depends on whether this connection is using a connection oriented protocol (TCP) or connection less protocol (UDP). As there is no error detection and synchronizing ,data transfer using UDP is always faster than the same in TCP. Here Internet bandwidth is a constant but the Internet speed vary.
So in a nutshell Internet speed and Internet bandwidth are different. Internet bandwidth is the one which is assigned by your ISP and which is a constant (as long as your ISP keeps its promise) while Internet speed vary with remote server and the
protocol they use to send data.
bandwidth is just a pipe and the speed is the amount of water that passes through...

Absolute bandwidth is the relative bandwidth of the signal (B) times the center frequency (f0). For example , by increasing the center frequency, the relative bandwidth is unchanged, but the absolute bandwidth is increased due to increasing the center frequency. I hope it is helpful :-)
1-ISDN is a circuit switching where as ATM is a packet switching. 2-ISDN is a point to point fixed bandwidth where as ATM is a variable bandwidth. By----- RAHUL SINGH ABES IT GHAZIABAD
SpeedTest is the most popular bandwidth meter speed test website. Also, SpeakEasy and CNET offer their own sets of speed tests to test how fast your Internet is running.
Speed of sata 1 is 1.5 Gbps Speed of sata 2 is 3 Gbps
The biggest difference between high and low bandwidth is latency. The lower the bandwidth the more time the computer spends trying to download the data.
a channel is actually a path through which a signal of a particular frequency travels and bandwidth is the capacity of that path it tells about the number or range of frequencies which a path can carry
A person can check his or her bandwidth speed through many websites. CNET, Speedtest, ZDNet, and Bandwidth allow a person to do a bandwidth speed test.
The transmission bandwidth refers to the range of frequencies that are being transmitted from one point to another. The channel bandwidth on the other hand refers to the frequencies of a given channel.
Regular bandwidth means you are sharing bandwidth with other people on the network so the more people on the network the slower one's connection will be. Dedicated bandwidth guarantees one a certain amount of bandwidth that is not shared.
LAN Bandwidth is the bandwidth (Maximum speed) of the Local Area Network

Frequency is a measure of the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time. The bandwidth of a frequncy is simply the difference between the upper and lower frequencies.
The following websites can test the amount of one's bandwidth: Speed Test, Bandwidth Place, Broadband Speed Checker, Ping Test, My Broadband Speed, to name a few.
basically bandwidth, its quicker than most BroadBand or cable connections.
The simplest method of performing a bandwidth speed test is to simply google "bandwidth speed test" and choose from the first few links. These will lead you to sites which will test your connection and report the results.
PCI-E 2.0 ha s a higher bandwidth meaning more data can travel faster between the card in the slot and the motherboard/CPU. Im not sure of the exact numbers of data transfer speed but I'm sure the speed improvement is significant
