A similar situation can occur for end-user [[Internet service provider]]s as well, especially where network capacity is limited (for example in areas with underdeveloped internet connectivity and on wireless networks).
== Network Bandwidth ==
When working with a network, the more bandwidth a device has, the more data it can send and receive at any given moment. This can be compared to a storm drain—the larger the drain, the more water it can carry. However, unlike a storm drain that can overflow if it’s too small, bandwidth cannot overflow in the same way. Instead, if more capacity is needed, an individual must purchase additional bandwidth. With increased data capacity comes a higher cost, so it’s important for users to carefully assess their data needs to avoid overpaying for unnecessary capacity.
As data usage increases, so does the need for speed. The more capacity an individual has, the faster data can be sent within a shorter time span. Networks operate on a variety of frequencies, and each device owner has their own allocated network bandwidth, which is exclusively for their use. No one else is allowed to use your network or bandwidth without being under your licensed plan. For example, mobile data services like Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and 5G provide private data highways that transmit data between locations. While these networks allow for greater data flow, the quality of service can be impacted by environmental factors, such as network density and availability. The strength or weakness of a provider’s service influences the coverage, speed, and overall quality of the network
Network Bandwidth is one of the more common forms which is widely recognized by the public. Around 4.3 billion people today own cellular devices that focus on using Network Bandwidth to transfer information across the Web. Some of the most common terms used to measure this is using Kilobits, Megabits, Gigabits, Terabits, each of which representing different sizes of data.
