Can information in a multi-channel network be sent more quickly?

Can information in a multi-channel network be sent more quickly?

Hypothetical situation:
Host A can send information to Host B at a rate of one bit per second.
Host B can send information to Host A at a rate of one terrabyte per second.
You'd like to send one gigabyte of random information from A to B.
How would you do it?
Is there any way to make use of B -> A to speed up A -> B?
Thanks
