Internet.    1. #1      Default FedEx still faster than the
Internet.      When you need to transfer very large amounts of
data over the internet, sooner or later you will hit a limit
where it will actually be faster to send that data on disks over
regular mail (often called sneakernet). Internet transfer rates
are simply not enough for large data sets. Imagine a company
with two offices in different cities, perhaps even in different
countries. Each office has a 100 megabit internet connection. If
the company needs to send a large amount of data from one office
to the other, theoretically a 100 megabit connection can muster
about 45 gigabyte in one hour if there are no bottlenecks on the
way. This ends up being just over one terabyte of data in 24
hours.     In other words, for anything larger than one
terabyte, it would be faster for this company to just send the
data on disks for over-night delivery.     What does Google do?
