Gary Blake and Robert W. Bly call this phenomenon the "Rize of -Ize".
People like -izing words. The only reason that this became an "Industry
Standard" is because many people think it makes them sound technical and
savvy.
Regarding your topic heading, I think you should begin you topic heading
with a verb, like "using".
Example:
"Using Bandwidth"
"Working With Bandwidth"
Or:
"Bandwidth Use"
