oh no it has happened again, bandwidth limit exceed please wait or power up steem to tracsend.

what is bandwidth

Bandwidth is the range of frequency within a given band use for transmission of signal. Bandwidth plays a vital role in network performance, and it is measured in bps(bits per second).

The issue of bandwidth is one problem one encounter here on steemit, steemit been a platform that gives free access to anyone to have an account at a Free rate and carryout operations like posting, commenting, upvoting and resteem, e.t.c.

Steemit uses a blockchain that grow in size and increases in the cause of running the servers, however this blockchain uses a control mechanism to control it's operations which is known as " Bandwidth".

Each user has a limited range of bandwidth with which he or she can perform an operation in order to limit over usage of the blockchain, if the bandwidth limit is exceeded, user are denied the opportunity to perform an operation(posting, comment, upvote and resteem). However exceeding your bandwidth limit doesn't means you are permanently band for using the platform no, it is only a sign to inform you that your operating power is low, so once this happen all you have to do is to wait for some time (approximately one or two hours) so as to regenerate the bandwidth strength, however if you are the impatient type, you can power up your bandwidth using your steem power.

note users with more steem power have higher bandwidth.

principle of operation

The principle of operation is very simple, the moment you carryout an operation( posting, upvoting and resteem), portion of your bandwidth is been consume.

so therefore

It works on the principle of reducing by posting, upvoting and resteeming.

who are the people affected by bandwidth problem

The issue of bandwidth affect every user as long as you have an account here on steemit(steemians), however users that perform operation frequently are majorly affected due to the fact that the more you carryout an operation the more your bandwidth reduces.

Recommendation

Indeed there is no doubt this platform is nice and really have help a lot of steemians, in order to limit the issue of bandwidth which is still unknowingly to some users, I will recommend that users should be notified of the rules and regulations to follow when performing an operation so as to know the number of post, upvote, etc to be perform per day.

I pray that this platform should continue to grow and it's purpose of existence should be fulfilled.....
