Bandwidth limitations

Bandwidth limitations refer to the maximum amount of data that can be transmitted through an internet connection within a specific period, typically measured in megabits per second (Mbps). Think of it like a highway: a wider highway (higher bandwidth) allows more cars (data) to travel simultaneously, resulting in faster internet speeds. When bandwidth is limited, it can cause slower loading times, buffering videos, or interrupted downloads because the connection cannot carry enough data at once. These constraints are influenced by the type of connection, network traffic, and provider infrastructure.
