To summarize, bandwidth is the amount of data that can be transferred per unit of time. Internet bandwidth is currently measured in units of Mbps, or million bits per second.
To firm up your understanding of bandwidth, imagine that on your home network your family streams video on multiple devices at the same time. As you can imagine, each stream of video requires a lot of data per second to keep the videos playing smoothly. If your streaming on more devices than your allotted bandwidth can support, you will start to hit your limit on how much data can be transferred and per second, and some of the devices will start buffering.

A file format is a standard way that information is encoded for storage in a computer file. It specifies how bits are used to encode (or represent) information.
Just like the Roman alphabet (a, b, c, d…) is used differently based on the language (English, French, Spanish, German…), so too are bits (0 and 1) used differently to represent different information based on the file format.
So the byte 10110110 in the file format JPG may represent a color whereas the same byte, 10110110, in a TXT file may represent a letter in a word.
In order for a program to be able to open a file, it must have file format programming in place to convert the bits in the file into information it knows how to use.
