Does "included bandwith" and "data transfer" mean the same thing?

...when comparing domain hosting sites?

Does %26quot;included bandwith%26quot; and %26quot;data transfer%26quot; mean the same thing?

Well... they aren%26#039;t the same thing but you can%26#039;t have one without the other...

%26quot;bandwidth%26quot; is an indication of how much data can be handled within the WIDTH of the spectrum available... an indication of what can be handled under ideal conditions

%26quot;Data Transfer%26quot; is the actualy data that IS being handled under the same ideal conditions.
