BANDWIDTH "OH BOO"

what does this even mean?

"Experts predict that consumer demand, already growing at 60 percent a year, will start to exceed supply as early as 2010 because of more people working online and the soaring popularity of bandwidth-hungry Web sites such as YouTube and services such as the BBC's iPlayer.

It will initially lead to computers being disrupted and going offline for several minutes at a time. Beginning in 2012, however, PCs and laptops are likely to operate at a much reduced speed, rendering the Internet an "unreliable toy."

HEY - I DIDN'T SIGN ON FOR THIS!!! CLEAN YOUR CACHES EVERYBODY!!! ...whatever that means?

...oh boo...
