| 144911 | 2003-05-16 23:33:00 | hey guys for some of you haven't got jetstream.... apparently telecom offer that free connection (usually $99) again... However, I still can't see they wanna change the bandwidth for the jetstream starter from 128k to 256k <-- when is that coming out??? have a look on www.telecom.co.nz and the promotion is on the left hand side of the page |

We do not know yet, it is only a rumour 128k to 256k is not bandwidth it is speed, bandwidth is a different thing eg 10 GB for Jetstart starters & for Quicksilver my ISP & for a few other isp part from XTRA. Hope this helps. :) |

| 144914 | 2003-05-17 02:26:00 | Actually jackyht, your original use of the word was correct . Bandwidth has a general meaning of how much information can be carried in a given time period (usually a second) over a wired or wireless communications link . For example, a link with a broad bandwidth - that is, a broadband link - is one that may be able to carry enough information to sustain the succession of images in a video presentation . More technically, bandwidth is the width of the range of frequencies that an electronic signal occupies on a given transmission medium . Any digital or analog signal has a bandwidth . In digital systems, bandwidth is expressed as bits (of data) per second (bps) . Thus, a modem that works at 57,600 bps has twice the bandwidth of a modem that works at 28,800 bps . In analog systems, bandwidth is expressed in terms of the difference between the highest-frequency signal component and the lowest-frequency signal component . frequency is measured in the number of cycles of change per second, or hertz . 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 . The amount of data transferred is your usage |
