the lack of distinction in this regard is part of the problem.
i.e. an airplane is faster (latency) than a containership, althou the ship has higher bandwidth (capacity).
- bcook 5y agoThe better word is "quicker". Faster = bandwidth. Quicker = latency. 56k connections can have good latency, depending on packet size.
- Wowfunhappy 5y agoI don't think that helps much, fast and quick are interchangeable in common parlance.
- CapsAdmin 5y agothis has been the main reason as to why i don't understand the hype behind 5g on phones
