No, it's physics. Lots of enterprises ship backup tapes on airplanes rather than transmitting them. It's faster and cheaper in many cases. You want to talk about bandwidth? Check these puppies out.

5 TB in a 9 oz cartridge about 5 inches square and 1 inch thick. Pack 200 of these in some shipping boxes, FedEx them overnight, and you've just transmitted a petabyte in about 16 hours. That's a million GB in about 1000 minutes, or 1000 GB per minute, or more than 100 gigabits per second. Beat that with your puny network!  |
