Hi steemains today I am going to inform you about the most important thing which don't know a lot of people about,  so read it carefully.

Bandwidth is your power of commenting , resteeming and posting. it has limitation , you
can't post,comment or resteem as much as you want. when you run out of yourbandwidth you will not able to comment,resteem or post any more. it is possible for one to run out of
bandwidth .it is not like facebook .  it is based on blockchain that has many limitations . it reduces with commenting, posting and resteeming. it depends upon How much steem power you have and your rewards you get from a certain block of steemit.
Everything you do (posting, commenting, resteeming etc.) will consume a small amount of bandwidth. Every user has a limited amount of bandwidth to use each week. Users with more Steem Power will have a higher bandwidth allowance.

1.Don't Make Unnecessary Comments

you see a lot of people make spam comments like good, cute, upvoted , follow for follow etc. Don't make such comments it will get nothing for you and reduce your bandwidth without any benefit. read first the post then make a meaningful comment. it will attract whales and lead to up vote you. 

2.Avoid Editing Posts and Comments


Don't edit your posts and comments .Each edit is an action that requires using your bandwidth .if you edit a post or comment it means you reduce your bandwidth two 
times with one post or comment , so you lost one time your bandwidth without any 
benifit.read carefully twice or thrice your post and comment before posting then post it.

3.Resteem when it's Necessary

Dont't resteem every post nor resteem multiple times like 10 to 20 posts a day.
Only resteem post that you feel is valuable to your followers. If you resteem more
it eats up alot of your bandwidth so avoid it.

HOW TO INCREASE YOU BANDWIDTH


1.Make Quality post regularly

Make original and quality content which gives you reward in the blockchain share
which increases your bandwidth . Regular posting ensures you have a share in the 
block produced.

2.Buy Steem Power | Power Up

when you run out of your bandwidth or you want to increase it buy steem power or 
steem and convert it into steem power. converting steem into steem power calling
powering up. when you power up it inreases your bandwidth. it gives you a boost 
as well in curation rewards and you get bandwidth again.
