Even a 1Gb/s company network cannot win against someone taking an external drive and walking the 100m to the other office. (if 100m takes 1.2 minutes, the network will theoretically only have transfered about 9Gb, considering drives can easily be 1Tb nowadays...) Let alone a train-car with data-tapes. ^_^ Pigeon ranking for the win! Never underestimate the speed of manual data transfer.
