A Pigeon is still faster than the Internet.

In 2009, a company in South Africa proved a homing pigeon was faster than an ADSL connection, flying a 4 GB USB flash drive to prove it. Besides IEEE's speculative work, nobody's actually re-run the 'bird vs. Internet' race in over a decade. Now that I have gigabit fiber, I thought I'd give it a try.
