Q: What is low bandwidth?
A: Bandwidth is the speed/transfer rate at which you are connected to the internet. If you are using a dial up Modem, your speed is usually between 14~56 kilobytes per second. This is considered a slow to moderate speed for data transfer, and you should use the low setting.
 
 
Q: What is high bandwidth?

A: High bandwidth is usually any internet connection speed/transfer rate over 90 kilobytes per second. This faster speed, also known as Broadband, is facilitated by Modem configurations known as DSL, ADSL, T-1, T3, and Cable Modems.
