This has been covered here before:

The bit rate over internet over non-electronic transmission methods
depends on several factors:
1. Speed of the mechanical transfer medium (Car, motorcycle, drone, air
plane, sled dog, etc.).
2. The time is takes to traverse the distance.
3. The total amount of data being transported.
For example a carrier pigeon carrying 1TB USB drive for 1 mile at 30 MPH
achieves a speed of:
1 Mile at 30MPH will take 120 seconds. 8Tbits / 120S = 73.3 Gbits/S
A UPS driver carrying a 20TB drive 60 miles traveling at 60MPH would
achieve a speed of:
60 miles at 60 MPH will take 3600 seconds. 160TBits/3600S = 48GBits/S
Fill that UPS truck with 100 20TB drives and the data rate increases by
100 time or 4.88TBits/S.
However we are not discussing the latency 😁
