A video call has a 200 Mbps download plan, and large downloads finish quickly. However, each reply arrives about 800 ms after the other person speaks. Which property explains the delayed replies?

A 4K stream needs 25 Mbps, but a home's connection provides only 15 Mbps while its latency is 20 ms. The video repeatedly pauses to buffer. Which property is the main problem?

A song encoded at 64 kbps sounds noticeably muffled on a connection with 100 Mbps bandwidth and 10 ms latency. Which property of the song most directly explains the sound quality?

A student has a 500 Mbps connection, but a remote-control command takes 140 ms to affect a computer across the country. File transfers still use the connection well. What is the key issue?

At a house with a 10 Mbps plan, two 8 Mbps downloads run at once and both take much longer than expected. The connection's latency remains 15 ms. Which property is limiting the downloads?

A movie is encoded at 1 Mbps and looks blocky even though it plays without buffering on a 300 Mbps connection with 8 ms latency. Which property best explains the blocky picture?

An online game has a 300 Mbps plan, and updates download quickly, but button presses are reflected about 180 ms later. Which measure is most responsible for the game feeling unresponsive?

A broadband advertisement lists 250 Mbps and 18 ms for one connection. Which figure is the bandwidth, and what does it describe?

A network test reports 35 ms latency and 150 Mbps bandwidth. What does the 35 ms figure measure?

A 12-minute video file is labeled "6 Mbps" and is played on a 100 Mbps connection with 14 ms latency. What does the 6 Mbps label describe?

An ISP plan is advertised as 80 Mbps, while a video being watched is encoded at 12 Mbps. Which number tells the customer the maximum amount of data the link can carry each second?

Connection A has 75 Mbps bandwidth and 9 ms latency. Connection B has 75 Mbps bandwidth and 60 ms latency. Which statement compares them correctly?

A home changes from a 25 Mbps plan to a 300 Mbps plan but keeps the same 70 ms latency. Several simultaneous downloads were slow before the change. What is the likely result?

A network route is changed so latency drops from 120 ms to 15 ms, while bandwidth stays at 40 Mbps. What change should a player notice during an online game?

A stream uses a fixed 2 Mbps video file. A viewer upgrades a connection from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps; the 2 Mbps stream was already playing without pauses. What is most likely unchanged?

A company's connection remains at 200 Mbps, but a new route lowers latency from 90 ms to 20 ms. Which result is most likely?

A household moves from a 50 Mbps plan to a 200 Mbps plan. One 4 Mbps movie already plays smoothly, but an online game still has 100 ms latency over the same route. What is the likely outcome?

Two 10-minute versions of the same film are available at 3 Mbps and 8 Mbps. A 100 Mbps connection can stream either one easily. What is true of the 8 Mbps version?

A 30-minute podcast is offered at 96 kbps and 192 kbps. Which version will generally create the larger file?

A live stream is offered at 1.5 Mbps and 5 Mbps, and a viewer has a 20 Mbps connection with 25 ms latency. Why does the 5 Mbps version require more connection capacity to play smoothly?
