There is more to an Internet connection’s speed than just its
bandwidth. This is especially true with satellite Internet
connections, which can offer speeds of up to 15 Mbps – but will
still feel slow. Latency can be an issue with all Internet
connections and networks. Wired network connections tend to have
the lowest latency, while wireless connections generally have
higher latency. Image Credit: Timo Newton-Syms on Flickr Latency
vs. Bandwidth Internet connections, including satellite Internet
connections, are advertised with speeds like “up to 15 Mbps.”
You may look at a satellite Internet connection offering this
speed and assume the experience of using it would be comparable
to the experience of using a 15 Mbps cable Internet connection,
but you would be wrong. - Bandwidth: Bandwidth determines how
fast data can be transferred over time. Bandwidth is the amount
of data that can be transferred per second. - Latency: Latency
is delay. Latency is how long it takes data to travel between
its source and desti
