Carrier Pigeons Faster Than Internet In Rural England

Here’s a funny stunt: To show how slow Internet speeds are in the rural parts of the UK, a guy raced carrier pigeons carrying memory cards against a YouTube upload. The carrier pigeons were faster!

The organizer of the stunt, Tref Davies, released two pigeons carrying a five-minute video on memory cards from a farm in Yorkshire, England. They flew more than 120km, and by the time they reached their destination only 24% of the 300MB video had been uploaded to YouTube.
