How long will I take to transfer a petabyte from my home

1 petabyte = 1000 terabytes = 1000,000 gigabytes = 1000,000,000 megabytes = 8000,000,000 megabits

My DSL connection is 2Mbit/sec on average

So to transfer 1 petabyte from my home it will take approximately 127 years!

USPS can do it much faster than this for sure if you have a drive with that storage ;-)
