The capacity of a network to transmit data is called Bandwidth, and it is expressed in bits per second. (Dr. Internet)

Sending data through a phone wire is like sending water down a pipe. The wider the pipe-the more information you can send, faster. In
telecommunications, transport capacity (the size of the pipe) is called bandwidth. The narrower the bandwidth, the less amount of information that can
be "squeezed" through it at any one time, and the longer it takes. (Source Unknown)

Bandwidth is a term used to describe how much information can be sent with a particular method. In typing classes this is words per minute and on the
highway it is miles per hour, etc. If you have two people typing, or two cars going down the highway, you double the bandwidth, if they are going the
same speed. (Dr. Internet)

The measure of how much information can be processed, stored, transmitted by an information system. The need for compression is a result of
bandwidth limitations in computing power, storage space and data transmission channels. (Dr. Internet)

Bandwidth is the capacity of the network, usually expressed in storage divided by time. . .i.e. megabytes per second.(Dr. Internet)
