    The XKCD one is interesting, but seems to be missing the transfer to/from the storage medium sent by FedEx.

    If I want to move data from my computer to yours over the internet, the internet bandwidth between our devices/networks is the main consideration. If I’m FedExing SD cards or HDDs, I’ve also gotta take into account the transfer times to get the data ONTO those devices.

    I wonder how the analysis would fair when taking into account:

    • speed of internet
    • TB/kg of storage
    • storage medium transfer speeds
