Speed vs Bandwidth Explained - Arvig 

These guys just wanted an excuse to play with water

These two are precisely the types who I come to to explain tech questions. They truly know what they are talking about, but awkwardly struggling with a way to relay information and facts so the tiny brains of the masses can comprehend

The only video I've seen where I not only understand bandwidth now but I didn't get bored and shut it off after 30 seconds.

Omg... I've seen this video 10 times already. Because I Love The Awkwardness! I need more videos of you guys explaining things. Plus, I'm Learning On The Side. Keep Up The Good Work! I would love to dub this video 👺 muahaha

Quality educational material and meme material at the same time! Excellent work you guys!

If kids were taught like this in school not a single kid would fail because some of us we understand better when someone is demonstrating. Thanks guys keep up the good work.

After 6years, I have gotten the best definition and demonstration of bandwidth vs speed. Thanks team

The way they pour the water together is hilarious 😂

My brain was struggling to be clean and wholesome about this.

Great video! The awkwardness while trying to explain is so relatable and it makes the demonstrations much more enjoyable to watch!

It's awkward but I actually understood their explanation. Loved it!

Was wondering all these day's, finally got a great explanation U guys killed it

Nice short video demonstrating the meaning of bandwidth and speed. Thank you !

You have latency that would be like pouring small glasses but you don't have enough hands to deal with the amount of requests. You also have distance limited by gravity that adds delay from the source to the end of the jar. You also have frequency that would could be translated as pressure on the pipes helping push water faster at the cost of overwhelming force add to the pipes. And then you have security network encoding that would be like a filter that clears water at the end xD

Wonderful explanation! Thank you, gentlemen!

Great works guys. I clearly understood. Thank you so much!!

That moment when you counted all the device in your home that use internet... O.o

this video make the whole thing so easy, good work guys.

Obsessed with how awkward it is, but this made it click in my head so thank you both so much 😂

thank you guys, the way that Justin say the speen of the pipes makes me laugh, like he is negotiating something! Thank you guys

I find their lack of emotion feels satisfying to watch. If these 2 have a vlog I'd subscribe.

Awesome explanation, thanks guys!

Best explanation honestly, so straight to the point

3:04 and the cups are magically full again! Great explanations!❤

Excellent presentation! Thanks for the video!

thank you guys...that was a great way to show the concept of bandwitdth vs speed.

Very clearly explained. Thank you!

Great content, thank you guys!!

Thanks for easy explanation and the convesation between you both make the tutorial so easy to understand

Thank you for this model demonstration....It assisted me to visualize the concept between speed and bandwidth .

Thank you for this video! A question please: why do some people express the bandwidth in GB rather than Mbps? I understand the storage data is in GB or TB and the net speed or the bandwidth rate is in Mbps. I've seen it used to express the installed capacity of the international bandwidth for a given country, but I don't understand the reason behind that. Can you please clarify that for me? I appreciate it very much. Cheers,

What equates to bigger pipe? More copper lines or fiber?

How do you increase the rate(speed) of the water within one of the green cups?

It Overflowed! Amazing!

Thank you so much for explaining bandwidth in such a simple to understand manner

Great explained. Thank you, Engeneer

If it's wet, that means it overflowed. lol!

It looks funny but it helps in understanding. I wish I was taught like this in the university.

Very clear, thanks for this, very helpful

still watching this video! never gets old! it has a sort of ASMR effect on me.

Fantastic explanation. I watched lots of videos but this video explanation is 💯 best.

I loved the explanation! Thanks!

Thank god for YT. I’m a visual learner and this demonstration was perfect for me. Thank you!

thanks you guys, it was a nice analogy of Bandwidth and Throughput i got it

Simple and precise explain.I was able to understand bandwidth and speed

Amazing and well put.

superb explanation

A very informative and best way to demonstrative video. Thank you so much.

Thank you for this. This video helps me a lot.

very wholesome and informative video guys!

Rumour has it both of these guys have got BIG pipes

Very helpful content. Thank you.

Wow 🥺 the Way you guys explained the concept is unbelievable 🤠 ..

Thanks for relating this kind of topic into a simplier concept :)

Awesome explanation!

Can you explain what is throughput with this analogy?

Actually understood this practical very well . Thanks sirs !!👏🏽

Is there a solution for home? I stream on one TV (hard-wired) via an Android device, connected to a switch at my MAC. One more hard-wire connection to another room is usually in use by another family member. Wife may be watching TV in another room while using her tablet too. And, one more family member is always on her phone and tablet. My service is gigabit and while the speeds are good, I still experience a lot of buffering on my TV box when watching.

Excellent representation and analogy

great explanation guys!

Nice explanation.

Are internet traffic and data congestion, as they mentioned, the same thing? Can someone please elaborate on it?

Nice video. Love it ❤️

very well explained! thank you!

Wait, so when I do a speed test, is it actually telling me what my bandwidth is?

Good explanation for a know-nothing like me. Thank you guys.

If you are like a lot of households that are now enjoying "video streaming" such as netflix, google youtube, VUDU you need roughly 3 to 5M internet speed as service providers will suggest. Streaming videos will take a lot of bandwidth, typical movie almost 2G. What we are not being told here internet service providers have control of your bandwidth usage and that is called "Throttling". Cell phone service providers can promise you all the data you want and need for their unlimited plan but after a certain brand width usage your service will crawl beyond that threshold. ***What this really means all of a sudden to you as a Arvig customer? It means no matter what internet speed you already pay for you can expect a "Cap" on bandwidth in the future, and... you will pay for each GB of data you exceed. There is always a explanation to physics but in this case it is really called greed. For their already astronomical telephone and internet charges and no reinvestment of capital to provide reasonable and dependable customer satisfaction and service . 2018 expect to pay per GB of data after a predetermined capping level.

This really helped!

Is there a way to increase bandwidth and not speed or vice versa? And how do you calculate the maximum bandwidth a network can handle?

whats wrong with high speed but low bandwidth internet? 🤔🤔🤔 is bandwidth related to the amount of session at a time? some user would not get internet access because the session is full, even though other user might have crazy speed internet?

This is so brilliant

thank you for this demonstration. it is very helpful with the inspiration I rcvd from this morning's meditation about the wave of frequency I picked up. 😊🥰🙏💚

Just Loved It.

But the data sent is just per one bit, so I think bandwidth with speed is same if sending method is per one bit, is there data sent more than one bit?

Hey Arvig.net i need some help with some info on your video... i noticed this video is 3 yesrs old, how can i reach you

Finally a great video

So I need a bigger bandwidth then for more devices.

Thank You!!!

This gives me impeccable "the office" vibes I love it

So the individual packets will travel at the same speed no matter what the bandwidth is, but if the bandwidth is small/narrow, then it will take longer for the packets to enter the channel because they queue up at the entrance/beginning point? Could someone please confirm if I understood this right?

compression of data is smaller cups of water wich is easier on bandwidth and wont clog the digital pipe, for example in audio amr files (adaptive multiple rate) a narrow band audio i played with way back in the day could be used to do a 30 minute podcast with only 3 mb of data, so its a tiny mouse that can get through any bandwidth hole, and dont need a lot of speed, amr quality isnt the best but for speech and talk purposes it can be listened to and understood, if you dont mind a little static sound, anything lower then a sample size of 8,000 hz and under 12 kbps audio bit rate can get bad in being able to hear it, but as far as video compression we have videos like 176 x 144 with a minimum of 40 kbps video bit rate, 16,000 htz sample rate audio with at least a 64 kbps audio bit rate a full length hollywood movie can be under 100 mb, quality will not be the best but you can still see and enjoy the movie if you set the video in playback at its normal size, so going with compression and making data smaller is like replacing every car with 4 motorcycles in rush hour traffic, now 4 motorcycles can fit in each lane, so you get 4 data for the sacrifice of one big piece of data that was not necessary, 640p is fine, you dont need 1080p and 4k video, also companies like to push big sizes of data so they can charge you more like your cable or dish, for example 720 x 480 sd channels are the bottom line at 5 mbps video bit rates when you record by a tap in the back of some boxes, sports could be around 7 mbps and HD channels 9 mbps and above and only increasing every year in data, also the adding of 4k wich is insane at even way over 60 mbps wich is maybe 5 times that of 1080p from my dish box at 9-12 mbps, so if a company offered say like 320 x 240 at 500 kbps, its less data so charge the customer less, one thing about cartoons being solid colors is you can strip then files down 90% of its original video bit rate and still enjoy the cartoon, years ago i broadcasted on blogtv using compression and i had people watching my videos with outdated computers with less then 250 mb of ram, these where people for poor countries saying my videos dont freeze up like the rest, but this is because i knew about the end user and how they may have weak computers with single core processors and low ram, so compression can reach people better, yes the quality isnt the best but video is smooth flowing, services that let you broadcast have bandwidth bills and some may have budget bandwidth, this is why some broadcast sites you see peoples videos not performing well, its mainly because the encoders they use, the video bit rate is cranked up when the digital pipe is narrow, or their camera settings are 720p wich has a very high default video bit rate and it can be used with out broadcast encoders so they are un aware of the high video bit rate gumming up their broadcasts, if anything they should at least reduce the resolution so the video bit rate falls down with that decrease in size, its true speed and bandwidth are important but having broadcasted myself with sub standard requirements or both ram and processor, its not the ram or processor but how you use data and if you have killed resource hogs draining your ram in the task manager, you can have plenty of speed and bandwidth but a crappy un maintained computer

Respect!

So you’re saying you have a DVD player that connects to the internet?

Awesome explanation hats off to you sir

Whats a DVD player?

They looked like their boss just yelled the absolute shit out of them and then made them record this video has punishment.

I don't understand why thumbs down. Thanks for the video

finally understand bandwidth, thank you so much

They explain this really well and now I feel really good inside cause I know I don't have the lives these "men" lived to break them

Awesome learning from Paul Hayman from WWE XD (Very well explained btw. Thank you)

Why do I feel like they're being gunpointed lol. Anyways love this demonstration. Very visual and easy to understand.

I've lost the will to live watching this

lol why does he need help making up a number. "say 10 mg" I love these guys. they brought in the expert on guessing what bandwidth a bunch of straws stuffed into pipe represents and ref back to his expertise 3 times

Great ! No this is the way of Teaching I really appreciate it..... :D

dvd player??

good analogy

Broo this has got to be the easiest way to differentiate bandwidth and speed on the internet.

A semi-transparent funnel would give a much better idea of the lack of throughput

Great Analogy

So pretty much everyone confuses speed with bandwith. When IPs advertise their services they advertise their plans as "speed" (ie we offer you an internet speed of 24Mbps) when in reality it is the bandwith, not the speed. The speed is determine by the medium through which data is transferred... a coaxial cable is going to be sending data much slower than fiber cable.
