Part of the confusion has been created by Internet providers by always recommending increase of bandwidth to Internet speed related problem, but as we will see, an Internet connection speed is not always dictated by bandwidth. This part is very important. What is difference between bandwidth and latency? I will give you an analogy to make it easier to understand it if you are still confused.
