![]() ![]() Latency – The delay in processing data over an internet connection. With high latency, the data simply takes longer to get moving! ![]() Latency describes how long it takes for the car (data) to first show up onto the highway. More lanes (bandwidth) allows more cars (data) to pass through. The number of lanes would be equivalent to the size of bandwidth. This means you can have a very high bandwidth, of say, 100Mbps, but with high latency, your internet connection will still feel very slow. ![]() The LOWER the latency (amount of delay) the faster the internet connection will feel. The LARGER the bandwidth (size of pipe) the faster the internet connection will feel. Bandwidth measures the size of the “internet pipe” and latency measures how long of a delay exists for information to move through the pipe. Internet speed is a combination of bandwidth (download and upload) and latency. ![]()
