Any tips for getting a fairly significant amount of data (50TB) from a local NAS to Google quicker than a 5mbps upstream will allow?

Amazon has Import/Export which lets you ship drives, is this the best option?

Google has "Offline Disk Import" [0] which is an "alpha" release at right now

So 5mbps is 625KBps or 0.000000625 TB per second.

50 TB / 0.000000625 TBps = 80000000 seconds = 925.92 days

AWS Import can probably import at 100MBps or ~6 days.
