khull: with 200/200 fibre or 1000/500 (those lucky people) it would make perfect sense

I'm on 100/50 with crashplan australia but it matters little becase the maximum upload rate I ever get is around 4000mbps---ie, 8% of my total upload bandwidth.

I am currently uploading 1.2tb of data to crashplan and ETA is 27 days.

I wonder how the amazon service performs in real life. Is there any network backup client which can do all the backups and versioning to a cloud type service?

[edit] now i read the previous comments and see that amazon is even slower.Nevermind.

shk292: I can't access the unlimited plan - I get 5GB free, but when I try to sign up for a trial of the new plan, I get redirected to the .com.au site, which doesn't offer the unlimited photo storage. DNS redirectors don't seem to help with this. I read elsewhere that the aussie plans will be upgraded this week. Has anyone here in NZ managed to get the unlimited plan yet?

yep on the 3 month trial at the moment

currently uploading 150gb of photos going to take about a week at this stage. Its done 60gb and i started about 1pm sat.

Im not sure what the issue is as i use Microsoft's one drive and it uploads at full speed when i upload things, so its definitely something to do with amazon

Jase2985, how did you manage to get the unlimited plan? I get redirected to the AU site

Anyone had any joy getting this sorted with amazon? I only have the options to buy very pricy space both in the app and online.

Also am getting forwarded to the au site when I click the links. Logging in with my normal amazon password shows the stuff the phone has synced into my free 5 gigs space.

i got charged the $60 for my yearly subscription the other week.

i get linked to the US site when i click the link in my above post and still stows that its 59.99 per year after the free trial.

the issue must be at your end, no geo un-blocker software running?
