Bandwidth describes how quickly you can transfer data (or rather, how much data you can transfer in a given period of time).

Bandwidth is a measure of capacity. It is not measured in terms of internet or wireless or wired. It is usually expressed in Kbps (killobits / second) or in Mbps (megabits / second) where 1000 Kbps = 1 Mbps.
Most wired LANs run at 100 Mbps; some at 1000 Mbps.
Wireless LAN running under the 802.11g standard can run at 54 Mbps under ideal conditions; distance and interference can reduce this number to under 10 Mbps.
A full T1 runs at 1.5 Mbps both ways; a typical ADSL can run from 3000 - 384 Kbps down, lesser up. Cable TV internet can run from 4000 - 8000 Kbps down, 284 - 768 Kbps up.

Bandwith is a measurement of how much traffic your network can handle and at what speed.
You are a little confused by the meaning of this as internet and wireless is not a measurement of bandwith.
Your ISP provider is what gives you your network speed.
Google: test my bandwith, and that will tell you what kind of speed you are getting from your ISP.

How many kilo or megabytes per second your connection is. The speed of it.
