Latency, also known as ping time by gamers, is the amount of time it takes for a signal to get from one computer to the other. Bandwidth is the total number of signals that can be sent over a given amount of time.

Eg: a bus has more bandwidth than a Kawasaki motorcycle, but also more latency (from a people moving perspective).
