Varying bandwidth
Varying bandwidth refers to the fluctuating capacity of an internet connection to transmit data at different times. Think of bandwidth like a highway: a wider highway allows more cars to pass quickly, while a narrower one slows traffic. When bandwidth varies, your internet speed can increase or decrease depending on network congestion, distance from servers, or technical issues. This variation affects how smoothly you can stream videos, play games, or browse websites. Understanding bandwidth fluctuations helps anticipate potential slowdowns and manage expectations for internet performance during different times or activities.
