Bit Refinery Recommendation
For 5.0 TB of data, we recommend a dedicated 1 Gbps connection for optimal transfer speeds. Bit Refinery includes 1 Gbps bandwidth at no extra cost with every colocation package.
Transfer times are theoretical estimates assuming sustained throughput. Real-world performance depends on network conditions, protocol, concurrency, and other factors.
