From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That averages out to around 300 megabytes per second. No way anyone has that at home comercially.

One of the best comercial fiber connections i ever saw will provide 50 megabytes per second upload, best effort that is.

No way in hell you can satisfy that bandwidth requirement at home. Lets not mention that they need 3 nodes with such bw.

Probably not one person, but that could be distributed.
