Knowing the size of a video file is exactly not the information, that would help me put this number in a meaningful perspective with any comparable operation.

How do I think of 42 petabytes in terms of an ISP? Is that a lot? How does it compare to other satellite providers? How does it compare to 4G capacities? Is this a small country worth of traffic or just any ol' data center? I have no intuition about traffic at this scale.

42 million gigabytes per day, or if we are working with 30GB for 10min of 4k movies - 233,000 hours of ultra HD movies per day

It's 42 PB per day, though.

> 42 million gigabytes per second

Per day?

Over estimating by a factor of 86,400.

I still dont think this is what the OP was asking for. This is in the context of an individual-HD video is an individual perspective. More helpful would be a comparison to say a small town or a major city or state.
