Good question Frank!

I'm a bit 'stuck' on fathoming this word "Bandwidth" as it is used. As Paul described it I can understand how it is a measurement of the range of frequencies employed in the transmission of a signal.

What I am having a problem with though is how it relates to the transmission speed. It seems to me that the word "Bandwidth" should not be measured in Mps. Or that they are not necessarily that directly related.

Al,

I understand your analogy that "basically, fiber is a fat pipe for information compared with UTP." I find it interestingly ironic that the "fastest" Fiber is actually the thinnest.
