The solution is to talk to the hosting people and ask what to do. At
very least they should be able to tell you conclusively whether it is a
bandwidth issue or a CPU-power issue (or something else). They may have
a product that will provide more of what you need. If not, you will need
to seek advice and get your site onto a host with more oomph and/or more
bandwidth. Whichever way you slice it it will cost more.

A low-tech solution would be to purchase more low-cost web hosting
packages from different web hosting companies (these days it's down
around 5-10 per month) and spread the website across them. You need a
good web maintainer to keep that in order. And it doesn't help much if
there is just one popular part of your site (e.g. a forum) that doesn't
lend itself to splitting.
