"every motion picture ever created to be streamed in less than four minutes."
"system capacity up to 322 Tbps with the multi-chassis architecture"
322 Tbps(assuming 10^12) x 4mins = 77280000000000000 bit/s = approx
9,660,000 movies (assume 25Gb Bluray disc - 10^9)
i doubt we made even that many feature length 'movies'

None of us on consumer broadband will even notice
= hyperbole or auxesis
Learn the difference.
