An analogy ..

6 cars lined up on a 6 lane highway that is exactly 100 miles long -
straight as an arrow with each car max speed = 200mph.

The fastest any one car will make it to the end is 30mins (latency)

Now, in this scenario, a total of 6 cars can make the trip in 30min's
(bandwidth)

Adding an additional 6 lanes to the highway to improve the bandwidth means a
total of 12 cars can make it to the end in the same amount of time.

However, the fastest any one car can make it to the end is still 30min's.
