You may make a compressed archive (tar.bz2) before you move. The time you spend in making archive, will surely reward in terms of transfer time & bandwidth usage.

rsync would probably be better than scp, if it fails at any point, it will pick up where it left off so you don't start all over again. rsync also has a compress option to help speed things along during the transfer.
