This shouldn't be true. One of (not sure if it has been beaten) the fastest connections in the world was measured at 319 Tbps over an 1800 mile distance by Japanese researchers using a four core fiber cable.

I would hope that our government would have fast enough speeds to not take months for massive amounts of data locally with, I would hope, simultaneous workloads.

10 Gbps, which a domestic local network can perform using a Cat6a cable (or fiber), would upload an average hour of 1080p video (1.4GB) in just about a second.

Considering an NVMe can generally handle a write speed much greater than that, it should take half a day at max speed.

"Months" truly is a long time for the United States government.

It's only about 62 terabytes of data on average.

Even if you went down to a measly 1Gbps connection, that's roughly between 100-125 MB/s. It would now take around 10-13 seconds per hour of full resolution 1080p video on average, or about 7 days on a single workload.

Considering this is well within the range of domestic local networks, and within the range of many Internet connections in suburbs, the government absolutely should be more prepared to do this in a matter of weeks rather than "months". And that is me being generous.
