Thing is, it doesn't make much of a point - it's 4GB, to do that in 2 hours you would have to have an upload bandwidth of very roughly 0.5 mb/s (and corresponding download bandwidth).
The thing that was most interesting to me was that it took an hour to copy it off USB (it was about the same time to move the files 60 miles than to get it off the stick!).
On a side note if the ADSL was only at 4% then they are only getting around 22kb/s so we're talking what 256k "adsl"?
Apparently the company in question had made recommendations to improve the speed that had been unaccepted but who knows what those recommendations were.
