Hi to everyone, Im a newbie in the concept of networking and I was just curious as to which is the better set-up?

1. All 10 PC will be connected to the internet for 1 hour?

or

2. Each PC will be allotted 1 hour of internet connection?
 
Bandwidth refers to the amount of data you can transfer at once - it is the speed of your internet connection.
Imagine your internet connection like a water pipe. If you connected 10 taps to this pipe and turned them all on at the same time, you would get a low flow rate (a low speed) from each tap. However if you turned each one on for an hour by itself, you would get the maximum flow rate possible (a faster speed).

In essence, to maximise bandwidth across machines, you should use option 2.
