Literally ,the frequency width of a transmission channel in Hertz,gigaHertz,etc.Often used as an expression of the amount of data that can be sent through a circuit.The greater the bandwith,the greater the amount of data that can travel through a single channel at any one moment in time.

It has to do with the amount of information that can be transmitted or recieved at the same time. To give a visual aid to understand this, think of water flowing through a hose. A small garden hose might be said to have low bandwidth, while a large fire fighters hose could be said to have high bandwidth.

Bandwidth is a measure of frequency range and is typically measured in hertz. Bandwidth is a central concept in many fields, including information theory, radio communications, signal processing, and spectroscopy. Bandwidth also refers to data rates when communicating over certain media or devices.

Bandwidth in one word is "speed"

DSL has about 1.5Mb of bandwidth, while cable modems give you around 3Mb to 6Mb these days
