It is absolutely total nonsense and it is the basis for the following proposition:
(The following is not true!) "It is impossible to transfer files at a speed over 23MB/s over the Internet."
If we accept that proposition as true, then yes, there is maybe a world in which we can discredit the DNC hack as an inside job, if we conditionally also believe that the timestamps accurately reflect the transfer speed and not, say, the result of the files being transferred at some point after the hack.
For example, if the hackers transferred the files to a thumb drive. Or to a file server. Or they archived the files then unarchived them with fresh timestamps and the rate of decompression was ~23MB/s. There are many, many different ways to get file timestamps that reflect a transfer speed of 23MB/s at any point after the initial transfer.
These are the two key propositions to believe the inside job argument.
On the other hand, grand juries, the intelligence community, the Mueller report, and the bipartisan consensus of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence all agree those propositions are nonsense.
