    Indeed, Netflix has “cracked open streaming video,” said Mr. Gillis, while cautioning “the bandwidth congestion [issue] is just going to get worse” as a result.

    and

    Mr. Gillis called the Sandvine report a wake up call for ISPs to redouble their expansion efforts. “People know it is happening,” he said. “But I think it is happening faster than people might have expected.”

    In other words: "Buy our services fast, or your tubes will clog up faster than a restaurant's toilet on burrito-day."
