its the speed of your broadband, the 5 gig is your limit you are allowed to download. this is okay if you dont download many large files ie films. but its plenty for surfing , updating and music

5GB for 30 days ??? its depend on u how much u download every day... i download more than 30 GB every month....
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.

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 is related to channel capacity for information transmission and often the two can be confused. In particular, in common usage "bandwidth" also refers to data (information) transmission rates when communicating over certain media or devices.

It's a rather generic term, but you can think of it as the number of individual circuits, or tracks of data. A higher bandwidth means more data can be crammed into the same line of communication. Think of higher bandwidth as a freeway with more lanes.

Think of the size of the road and how many cars it can carry during rush hours, bigger the road, more cars and they trravel faster as tehres more room for them.
5GB over 30 days ? thats very limited, consider 1 x DVD movie will use up all your bandwidth for the month.
Aim for something 50-100GB minimum per month.

Bandwidth is the speed of your internet connection example: 56.6 kbps for a dial-up or 738 kbps

it is the speed of your internet connection(the maximum capacity of your internet connection)
