Use this

• If you can use the tag during the run (Information Overload, Universal Connectivity Fee, Muckraker, and I'm not sure about the timing on Dedicated Response Team).

• Against cards that are immediately trashed when tagged (Rachel Beckman, Zona Sul Shipping)

• If the runner knows you can prevent their run from being successful but needs to run anyway (Crisium Grid, Caprice Nisei, Nisei MK II)

• If the runner deliberately wants to make an unsuccessful run (Au Revoir, Jinteki: Replicating Perfection)

• If the runner thinks they can make a successful run, but they actually can't. This one is difficult because you will need a server with another face down ice already on it. Chimera should work well for this.

Getting the tag to stick not only past the end of the run but past the end of the turn is quite difficult, unless the runner is already tagged and this is just adding to the aggregate.

Bandwidth works beautifully with Keegan Lane to blow up the runner's programs out of nowhere. It will also activate Pachinko's subroutines making for a 2 server with 2 Str 4 ' End the run.' Barrier subroutines.

However this kind of set up has a big weakness - if Bandwidth is broken, bypassed or destroyed then Keegan and Pachinko don't work and the server becomes very vulnerable. Jesminder Sareen: Girl Behind the Curtain and New Angeles City Hall or other tag protection can also render Bandwidth kind of useless, although the same could be said of cards like Data Raven in a similar situation.

The other way you could use Bandwidth is to put it in front of a big glacier with strong unrezzed ETR Ice or a Caprice Nisei inside. However this does not seem particularly efficient.

EDIT: How to get more out of Bandwidth:

Crisium Grid - rez if they don't break the and force the runner to keep the tag! Plus Crisium Grid is a great card anyway.

Sub Boost - fixes some of the positional problems of Bandwidth - you can even have it as the 'bottom' ICE and give it End the Run. Now the runner needs to deal with a Str 5 Barrier/Code Gate (probably costing D4v1d counters).

Makes cards like Universal Connectivity Fee better, since Draven is fairly expensive to rez for NBN, however once UCF pops, bandwidth would essentially be doing nothing. I'm looking forward to more support, but in MN with IO its still pretty good, and with muckraker its even more fun. I like where it is going, and the splash is super nice. 3/5 for now.
