Yes, a Pigeon is Faster for Data Transfer than Gigabit Fiber Internet::A decade ago, a pigeon with a 4 GB memory stick outran an ISP’s ADSL service. A 2023 rematch features a bird with 3 TB of flash drives vs gigabit internet.

Yeah, but having that ping time of 36,000,000ms really kind of sucks.

What if you make it carry N+M separate flash drives configured in a Raid Z(M) format.. allowing for up to M-1 dropped packets.

That help ensure data integrity provided the pigeon gets there, but would not help the pigeon get there any faster.
