Bandwidth

What I understand from the threads I read, it's traffic is meant, not bandwidth, why this confusion between traffic and bandwidth.
I for one agree with you, and I try to remember to call it transfer, but it's a losing battle since so many people call it bandwidth.

I try to remind people it doesn't matter how large the diameter of the water pipe serving their house if the water company isn't pumping any water. It doesn't help.

Well when i sell account i specify monthly traffic, not bandwidth... And.. if someone is interested and ask for information i would just explain what transfer mean (actually i should do aswell if is called bandwidth) so i dont see any difference :)

But can you call it transfer on your website when so many others are calling it bandwidth?

Yes I can if I called the bandwidth instead of traffic would my customers ask me what I truly meant it, because they have water to an ADSL here a bandwidth of eg. 50/5 Mbit and a fiber 100/100 Mbit so if I wrote that they had a bandwidth of 15 Gbit then would they not believe what I wrote to them.

Perhaps this is because many television advertising around the deployment of fiber optic network.
