Bandwith is how much data can go through at a given time.
Frequency is a wave form of electicity. When dealing in electronics It is most of the time a square wave.

Basicly you set the frequency higher(lower waves) to get faster bandwith.

1) In electronic communication, bandwidth is the width of the range (or band) of frequencies that an electronic signal uses on a given transmission medium. In this usage, bandwidth is expressed in terms of the difference between the highest-frequency signal component and the lowest-frequency signal component. Since the frequency of a signal is measured in hertz (the number of cycles of change per second), a given bandwidth is the difference in hertz between the highest frequency the signal uses and the lowest frequency it uses. A typical voice signal has a bandwidth of approximately three kilohertz (3 kHz); an analog television (TV) broadcast video signal has a bandwidth of six megahertz (6 MHz) -- some 2,000 times as wide as the voice signal.
2) In computer networks, bandwidth is often used as a synonym for data transfer rate - the amount of data that can be carried from one point to another in a given time period (usually a second). This kind of bandwidth is usually expressed in bits (of data) per second (bps). Occasionally, it's expressed as bytes per second (Bps). A modem that works at 57,600 bps has twice the bandwidth of a modem that works at 28,800 bps. In general, a link with a high bandwidth is one that may be able to carry enough information to sustain the succession of images in a video presentation.
It should be remembered that a real communications path usually consists of a succession of links, each with its own bandwidth. If one of these is much slower than the rest, it is said to be a bandwidth bottleneck.

In simple terms? Imagine a water pipe.
Bandwidth is the size of the pipe. The bigger the pipe, the more water flows through (the bigger the bandwidth, the more data flows through).
Frequency is the water pressure. High pressure-- lots of water (high frequency, lots of data) Low pressure-- a trickle of water (low frequency, a trickle of data).

frequancy = 1/bandwidth
