timmmay: Back Blaze should be plenty fast, try emailing them. They want to have you upload data because you pay for it. AWS S3 Sydney is also a fast option.

Re Back Blaze, that wasn't the experience I had, I put it down to 140ms ping, single threaded uploads per file when using MSP360.

Sure if I had 30 files being uploaded at once, I would hit 50Mbps. But during an incremental upload, involving a 60GB image file, it was hovering around 20Mbps if that.

What's your secret?

Plus, I found that Google storage had comparable prices per GB for what I needed - Sydney@ $0.0025 per GB vs $0.005 for B2.

(Singapore archive storage is $0.0015 per GB)

Increase the number of threads in MSP / Cloudberry. I use 5 threads, but I only have 20Mbps upload. 3 threads maxes out my 20Mbps upload to S3 in the USA.

Also, I'm having issues at the moment with Cloudberry or MSP360 hitting the 1TB cap/limit! Beware if you are thinking of storing more than 1TB total (or 5TB for the Desktop Pro version)

Yep, mine has been manually set to 50 for years.

If I only had 20Mbps upload, using my current stats, 1 single thread would max out 20Mbps. I'm talking about (my 1st world problems I know) using my 500Mbps upload. Even with 50 threads, I could only get 50Mbps using B2, but Google Cloud was hitting 300Mbps.
