Unfortuantely as broadband access spreads you get what's called 'contention'. You may have broadband, but if all your neighbours do as well, there's a limit to how much data can come down the tube. Streaming video is very data intensive, and kids love it. It doesn't take more than a handful of neigbours watching videos, downloading music or listening to internet radio to make your bandwidth drop dramastically, to the point where streaming video doesn't.
