Bandwidth is offered to Steemit users in proportion to how much Steem Power they have. If a user has X amount of Steem Power then he will receive Y amount of bandwidth. If another user has 5*X amount of Steem power then his bandwidth will be Y times 5. 


When a user posts something on Steemit, he losses some Bandwidth for that action. Users with a lot of Steem Power generally won't have their bandwidth run out to zero. But new users with 2-3 Steem Power may notice that their Bandwidth is very low after posting a lot of comments or posts. 


Steem users can check their Bandwidth allocation by visiting steemd.com/@[username of that person]. As an example, I have shown my bandwidth in the following image. I have 5.4gb of bandwidth left. Even 



Bandwith works with SP. If you have under 5sp, you have trouble with the bands. If you post once a day and do not comment too often, is enough 5sp. If you follow + + comments + more posts per day, you will consume enough band and you can have problems.

Di steemit Many people face this problem at the beginning. It was a very frustrating experience. Most new users don't know until they face this problem. They make lots of comments and posts without caring because they think it's like Facebook so they keep commenting, meresteem, upvote and follow. Until they will know when they can not post or comment any more, when an error message comes in when they want to create a bug or something and upvote.


So it needs to be in mind that Steemit is not like Facebook or Twitter, steemit works based on a blockchain system that has many limitations.


Steemit Platform is amazing, so you must know some of the provisions, written and unwritten rules that I have posted.


Understanding Steemit Bandwidth?

Bandwidth is the value of consumption of data transfers that are calculated in bits / seconds or commonly called bits per second (bps), between the server and the client in a certain time. Or the definition of bandwidth is the width or width of the frequency range used by the signal in the transmission media. So .. Bandwidth is Information carrying capacity. In Steemit This Can Be Blocked as How much information you can upload and download on certain Steemit blocks.


So the bandwidth carrying capacity depends on how much steem power you have and the benefits you get from certain steemit blocks. Because whenever you collect rewards you get certain parts in the steemit block chain that increases your bandwidth. So far I see that bandwidth really depends on how much profit you get in steem power to increase your own bandwidth. This means that the greater the reward and the more you get, the greater the bandwidth stored in your steemit access. and that doesn't depend on your STEEM POWER. The rewards you get give you certain parts of the blockchain that increase your bandwidth.


What is Bandwitdh in steemit?

Steemit has a threshold, for that bandwidth has been reduced to prevent automatic spam. And you can check it in


Everything you do (posts, voting, comments, etc.) will consume a small amount of your bandwidth. Every user has a limited amount of bandwidth to be used every week. Users with more Steem (Steem Power) power will have a higher amount of bandwidth.


You can check how much bandwidth you have currently based on the current limit at https://steemd.com/@ youraccountname.


Usually everyone's bandwidth allowance is quite high, and users can use the network freely without interruptions (constraints). Sometimes when blockchain gets busy because of the large number of users, each person's individual bandwidth allowance may go down until the network becomes less busy.

the bandwidth occurs because our steam power is weak eg its 10 so the bandwidth it depends on SP and SP we little then to post comments and like it is very limited for that, raise sp and you will not feel the bandwidth back

I see that some people have already answered you, but I wanted to also add the following: bandwidth on Steem will be changed to another system in the upcoming Hardfork 20 update. After this there will be no bandwidth, but rather a Resource Credit. You can read more about the new, upcoming system is this post: https://steemit.com/bandwidth/@steemitblog/blockchain-update-2-hf20-progress-and-bandwidth-changes

It won't after Sept. 25. I just recently read on a @steemitblog post that hardfork 20 is switching from bandwidth to resource credits.
