Re: 50Mb across the country in 6 seconds

I don't follow.
If latency is not taken into account (nobody has talk about that)
then a 1Gb is what I have between my desktop and my disk server here,
and it takes less than 2 seconds to copy a 50MB file.

And please, dont' follow cisco way of negating anything twice or three
times in the same phrase :) (Unless... is not ...)
