The article is not about bandwidth but about the amount of data you can download at a reasonable price. People are actually willing to spend more time downloading something instead spending more money.

The amount of data, when aggregated over many people, adds up to bandwidth of network needed.

An ISP's customers, all added together, are downloading a certain amount per month. That is, a certain amount of data per time period -- which is bandwidth.
