It’s terabits, not gigabits :)

Symmetrical connections are not that common so pulling this much upload from infected machines seems impressive.

Yeah. In developped countries you can expect at least 400Mbps thanks to fiber connections

That’s still 2.5k fully saturated 400mbps connections. As far as I know this kind of approach wouldn’t work since you’d easily block them - you need craploads of bots all around the world for this to not be defeated by a smart firewall.
