It’s terabits, not gigabits :)

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

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.
