High network utilization doesn't have to mean an unresponsive website.
Google cares more about responsiveness. A site is responsive if you can start reading it quickly, regardless of how much network traffic is being used by ads, as long as the ads are loaded asynchronously after the primary content.
Penalizing for high total network traffic is short-sighted and would prevent most video hosts from ranking well in Google Search.
