Understanding Bandwidth and Latency: Key Differences Explained
Bandwidth and latency are crucial factors that influence the quality of your home internet experience, yet they are often misunderstood. Bandwidth refers to the maximum amount of data that can be transmitted over your internet connection in a specific time frame, measured in megabits per second (Mbps). In contrast, latency is the time it takes for a data packet to travel from your device to the server and back, measured in milliseconds (ms). High bandwidth allows for more data to be transferred simultaneously, making activities like streaming and online gaming smoother. On the other hand, low latency ensures quicker response times, which is essential for real-time applications. Understanding the interplay between these two factors can help you optimize your internet performance and enhance your online activities.
