I am little curious about bandwidth so I have a technical question about it. Can you explain me in plain words what bandwidth means and what are those bytes and bits that are always mentioned when bandwidth question comes up? I know this is not a regular I have a problem question but I hope you will find time to answer me.

Bandwidth is a term used to describe how much data you can transfer between two computers over some mean of network traffic (no matter if this is cable, wireless etc.). It is measured in bits per second where bit is short of Binary Digit (1 and 0). Sometimes bandwidth is measured by amount of data that can be transferred in a period of time and thats where bytes (and higher units like Kilo bytes Kb etc.) are used. Just for the reference, eight bits make one byte.
