Re: sooner or later said by cwh:said by talz13:said by fifty nine:SO let me ask you - what is the average home user going to need 10 or 20Mbps upload for? Just a straight up honest question. And remember this is the AVERAGE home user, for legal uses only. Easy to use online backup services, like Crashplan maybe? I use an online backup service. My initial back up took several days, but after that it is only backs up the differences. Faster upload would not really help this situation a great deal. My initial backup took almost a month, and that was after I pared down the amount that I wanted to back up. 180gb does not move very fast over 768k upstream. |

1 edit | I will agree with that - especially once you add overhead + any encryption.
On the upside - once you upload - backups typically become a 'delta'.
Personally - if it came down to a $5/month service, paying $$$ for higher upstream, or a $70 1TB backup device - I'd hit the 1TB device.
