This guide provides a complete overview of internet and Block Storage bandwidth for Scaleway Instances.
Explore the list of Scaleway Instance types categorized by families, with detailed internet and block bandwidth specifications.
Understanding these specifications is crucial for optimizing your infrastructure for performance and compatibility.

### Why bandwidth matters

Bandwidth impacts how your applications perform and interact with other systems.
- **Internet bandwidth**: Affects how fast your Instance can send or receive data over the internet.
- **Block bandwidth**: Determines the read/write speed to Block Storage, essential for storage-heavy workloads like databases and analytics.

<Message type="important">
Bandwidth specifications listed here are for informational purposes. To validate the exact bandwidth capacity of your Instance type, refer to the `block_bandwidth` field in the [Instances API](https://www.scaleway.com/en/developers/api/instance/#path-instance-types-list-instance-types). Use the endpoint `/instance/v1/zones/{zone}/products/servers` to retrieve Instance type specifications.
</Message>

<Message type="tip">
To maximize compatibility with [Block Storage Low Latency 15k](https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/storage/block/), select an Instance with **at least 3 Gbps** of Block bandwidth.
