First, range has nothing to do with it. You can get a decently low amount of latency (and high amount of bandwidth) all the way across the world with fiber. It just depends on the media. Satellite shots add a lot of latency because of the time for the signal to travel through the atmosphere and back down, plus the resending of packets due to errors.
Secondly, low latency is what you want. TCP doesn't handle HIGH latency very well. Remember, TCP needs to get ACKs back for every packet it sends. High latency means TCP has to wait a while for a response.
Just remember they are pushing Gigabits per second down fiber that laying on the bottom of the ocean.
Actually, I believe according to VISA/MASTERCARD rules and regulations as long as they ship within 30 days of actually charging you, everything is cool. If it's backordered over 30, then they have to provide you with a refund unless you authorize something else. They have a huge book of rules that all merchants accepting their cards must follow.

It's actually the Samba client that limits you to 2GB or less. Use CIFS to mount the Samba volume, if you have files over 2GB in size.

What if you sent out a broadcast out one interface? As long as the other interface is in the same VLAN, the switch should forward it.
This doesn't test backplane bandwidth, though. Just connectivity.
