Thread Content

In 2009, employees of an IT company in South Africa complained that \"even homing pigeons have faster internet speeds than ours…\" To prove this point, they attached a 4G-sized MS memory card to a homing pigeon named Winston, in order to see whether pigeons could transmit data more quickly or whether broadband upload was faster. Two hours later, the homing pigeon reached its destination 60 miles away, while at that point only 4% of the data had been transmitted via broadband.
