Perhaps just shipping the data in DVD disks directly to the California might work out cheaper than trying to use the Internet.
As the saying goes, the latency sucks but you can't beat the bandwidth of a plane packed with hard drives. If the data isn't time-critical (ie: it can arrive a week after it's generated), you can post a DVD to the US for about $7 with airmail. Express would cost $55, but that's a couple of days and is door-to-door couriered.
