My test upload of a 200MB file finishes in about 20 seconds (i.e. my 100 Mbps ethernet limit), and the download rate reaches easily above 3 MB/s from Germany. Using a box in the states, the upload/download rate is a little bit slower but it is still way over 1 MB/s. The data center of Amazon is not bad, after all.
