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.

      Error-correction for dropped packets is also pretty shit.

        What if you attached two one-way pigeons together to make a two-way pidgeon? It would probably take a piece of string, and a coconut…

      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.
