Towards better internet bandwidth subscription in plateau state university

Abstract

The abundance of Internet bandwidth of a Local Area Network (LAN), in Gigabit/sec, with minimal latency (less than 1ms) and also, if the packets drop rate was minimized, makes the throughput to be relatively high. When a number of users become far higher than the available bandwidth, latency, delay in traffic delivery becomes unavoidable. In this case the applications are fast with the performance regarded as good,1 with low latency. It is important to investigate if there has been better bandwidth subscribed for and also if the ISPs have been better ones. Internet service problems2 could be emanating from the quality of Internet bandwidth and also the trust-worthiness of the ISPs. Studying the effect of quality bandwidth and reliable ISPs, which has impact on the performance of the network3 is necessary in this study.
