hello,

Bandwidth can be defined as the amount of data that can be transmitted through a communication channel in a given or fixed period of time.Bandwidth can also be reffered to the data rate or the frequency range of a communication system.So,bandwidth can be reffered to both the terms,capacity and time.But,In an analog channel or in a digital channel that is wrapped in a carrier frequency,Bandwidth is the difference between the highest and the lowest frequencies and is measured in hertz(KHz,MHz,GHz) whereas in a digital line,it is measured in bits per second or bytes per second (see mb/sec).

People who are said to be computer people or in other words the regular users use the word bandwidth very broadly.for example:-It is possible that a computer guy may say “Enough bandwidth is not available around to get the job done” by these words he means that there’s not enough people or time to complete the task.However the true meaning is written above.
