Actually that growth came and now it's going!
While bandwidth is increasingly available to more users the load on available bandwidth is also growing and, according to my (and many other) ISP(s), the load is growing faster than available bandwidth.
Storage capabilities are growing but I don't think it's growing faster than available media. There's much more to download now than before so, again, size is becoming more of an issue as time goes on, not less...
