Bandwidth can be defined as the amount of data that can be sent through a connection of certain devices, measured in bits-per-second (bps.) A full page of English text is about 16,000 bits, and a fast modem can move about 57,000 bits in one second. Full-motion, full-screen video requires roughly 10,000,000 bits-per-second, depending on the amount of data compression.
