As of March 2019, Netflix is reported [0] to have 60 petabytes of data. Google tells me that 60 petabytes / 250 terabits per second comes out to 32 minutes. I’m not sure that translates to the layperson who might not appreciate what a petabyte is, but in the space of a single show you could theoretically transfer the contents of Netflix’s entire library over this pipe. So basically almost enough bandwidth to transfer the average user’s porn stash in a single day!
