Because broadband is so slow in the states, Amazon has resorted to allowing companies to mail in their portable devices for data storage and upload. According to Cloudave, it could take “82 days (with 1.54 Mbps T1 connection) to migrate one terabyte of data with 80% network utilization.” So “Amazon has resorted to old fashioned approach from the previous eras. Users can mail Amazon their data in one of the supported portable storage devices and Amazon will transfer it to users’ AWS account from within Amazon’s high speed internal network.” Sad really.
