Bandwidth

Bandwidth is a measure of the capacity of a communication channel.
Amount of data that can be transferred per time period. The range of frequencies available to a communication channel.
Measured in bits per second (bps); 8 Mbps = 8 Mega bits per second; 8 bits = 1 byte; 8Mpbs = 1 Mega byte per second
More frequencies available to communications channel = higher bandwidth (analogue)
Higher bandwidth = more data per second (digital)
Consider the motorway example (the more lanes in a motorway, the more traffic can go pass a point a any given time).
