| So how much Internet capacity do we need? How many cars you can fit on a road. If you completely fill up a road with cars, the speed of the traffic will grind to a halt. In terms of Internet capacity a completely full road represents our maximum bandwidth capacity measure in bits per second (bps). | So how much Internet capacity do we need?

| In the above chart the blue graph shows multiple periods of congestion on a 512 kilobits connection that is being fully saturated. In contrast the green graph represents a healthy Internet connection and is one which has spare capacity for new connections to be established. In terms of our road analogy, spare capacity is the space between cars on the highway. The more space between cars, the faster traffic can flow. | In the above chart the blue graph shows multiple periods of congestion on a 512 kilobits connection that is being fully saturated.
