“During the 1980s I would point out that the highest bandwidth for long haul was a Mack Truck filled with magnetic tapes. It provided the best bandwidth, but the latency wasnt particularly good. “
There is a technical definition for bandwidth and the now bastardized definition. Yours is neither.
And yet, everyone who heard this understood my point, that bandwidth is not the end all of data transfer rates. The latency, which was commonly ignored, is a major component of many/most data transfer systems.
