higher/bigger bandwidth

AngliholicI need to get higher/bigger bandwidth so that I can upload pictures to my websites more quickly.

Which fits in the above better, higher or bigger? Thanks.

I use bigger. It seems to go well with the width in bandwidth. The word bigger conveys an idea of "the same frequency with more connections."

I ha

Bigger isn't well accepted in technical/scientific circles.
It's not refined enough.

Use larger/higher.

I'd use "more bandwidth" in this context.

NewPhilologistI'd use "more bandwidth" in this context.

That too.

Hi Marius,

Network expert I am not, but here is the voice that speaks the technical jargon:

Search Google for context implying the professional association (IEEE) of engineers:

836 for IEEE "bigger bandwidth"
15,300 for IEEE "larger bandwidth"
244,000 for IEEE "higher bandwidth"

Hi Hao,

Since the digital age, the word Bandwidth is used and heard more and more in adverting. In the old analog age, most people couldn’t tell the difference between AM and FM bands. Nowadays, the word “Broadband” is everywhere. To understand what a band is in telecommunication terms, perhaps, it’s helpful to know a little bit about AM and FM on the

Bigger, larger and higher are all wrong in my opinion. It should be greater.

That's another good one:

Hi Goodman,

Thank you for the detailed explanation. So, bandwidth is the volumn of information transmisstion for the same connection. By raising the band (i.e., the frequency) the amount of information increases. Therefore, the higher band increases the width (i.e. the volumn of transmission for the same connection, not more connections for the same band).

I, therefore, change
