Bandwidth envy
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Bandwidth envy is a condition triggered by your fellow basement dwellers' bragging about their ungodly amounts of bandwidth for downloading furry porn. This can result in an unhealthy lust for your neighbor's internet speed, especially when you think it could solve your life's biggest problems (admittedly, most of which probably involve an insufficient supply of porn).
History
Bandwith Envy started in the mid 90's. At the time dial-up modems were the only option and people with cable modems were few and far between, later the cable connections became available and thus the start of bandwith envy. Asking any player on an online game would forever claim to have a T1 connection. Players that were clearly connected at 56k would claim to have girlfriends in their house downloading terrabites of MP3 files slowing down their T1 connection. In reality these people were attemting to play Counter Strike via dial-up connection to AOL.
Normal men and women suffer from have penis envy, but since penis size only matters if you're capable of attracting an actual sex partner, pipe size becomes a substitute for cock size.
