At South Pole we use TDRSS for uploading science data. The upload speed is actually very good - easily our highest bandwidth connection because we have to get hundreds of gigabytes of data a week to the North (mostly South Pole Telescope and IceCube). We also get some "public" capacity for the station which is about 5 mbps while it's up. Competition for use is still strong. We tend to get a few hour-ish chunks every day and it varies a lot. (EDIT: Just realiesd if I'd waited a few hours to post, then I could say that this came via TDRSS ;) More info: https://www.usap.gov/technology/contentHandler.cfm?id=1971 https://www.usap.gov/technology/contentHandler.cfm?id=1971
