Get the bandwidthmug. by iPhouad September 2, 2014
Get the bandwidth burnermug. When you place a call on your cell phone and you get the annoying recording saying that "the person you are trying to reach is unavailable at this time, please try your call again later" and then the phone disconnects. Millions of morons are twittering, twattering, texting, sexting, calling, watching videos and otherwise tying up valuable bandwidth so your most important call can't go through.
Dude one- Damn I am trying to reach my babe and all I keep getting is this stupid recording saying to try the call again later.
Dude two- Sounds like you fell off the bandwidth, man.

Get the fell off the bandwidthmug. When you are near the end of the month and you realize you have a huge amount of bandwidth allotted to you by your ISP that doesn't rollover to the next billing cycle. You decide to use it all up before the next billing cycle.
Dan: "Hey Fred, what you are doing this weekend"?
Fred: "I gotta do a bandwidth binge this weekend. I still have 100 gigs of bandwidth that I must use up before the next billing cycle that starts on Monday. Comcast doesn't rollover your unused data to the next month."
Dan: "You must be in Atlanta GA then".
Fred: Nope! I am in Nashville TN."
