We routinely get to ~2 Gbps down from S3 with that setup (using largest instance types).&lt;p&gt;edit: Gbps not GBps</text></comment>

It is easy to hit 5Gb&amp;#x2F;s or 10Gb&amp;#x2F;s on instances with the necessary bandwidth, accessing a single file, or multiple files. We have not encountered a limit on S3 itself. YMMV.</text></comment>
