English term or phrase: bandwidth hog
As financial director, I am always quite sensitive to the distribution costs of these new formats, which are bandwidth hogs, and we use both the adserver and our own infrastructure...

Weiss jemand, ob es im Deutschen einen Begriff für "bandwidth hog" gibt? Ich danke Euch im Voraus!

wahre (die reinsten) Bandbreitenfresser // Bandbreite in Beschlag nehmen


Explanation:
Substantivlösung:
a) "Bandbreitenfresser", und zur Verstärkung mit "wahre" oder "die reinsten"; ist auch idiomatischer
b) "Bandbreite in Beschlag nehmen" ist näher am Bild "to hog".

Relativsatz-Lösung (warum nicht?):
...die sehr viel (Unmengen an) Bandbreite verschlingen

Unzählige Beispiele im Web...

@Jonathan:
"Bandbreitenfresser" ist wesentlich geläufiger als "Breitbandfresser". "Bandbreite" ist der allgemeinere Ausdruck.
Im engl. Text heißt es auch "bandwidth", davon würde ich nicht abweichen.
