The bandwidth is the frequency range in which data can be transmitted. The greater the available bandwidth, the faster the data transmission and, accordingly, the Internet connection. With the help of a simple speed test, you can check what your actual DSL speed is in just a few simple steps. You can find out everything about the measurement in the following article.
