Question About Backups

john01dav · March 9, 2018

Hello,

I have 1.3TBs of data that I want to ensure that I don't lose. As such, offsite backups are essential. I have a few good options for where to store the data in the cloud, but I don't have a good way to actually get it there, because my ISP caps upload at 5mbps on their highest tier. Their business class Internet caps it at 20mbps, while charging an atrocious amount for that (several thousand USD per month). I don't have any other options for an ISP, and I even tried calling a nearby fiber provider to see how much it would be to run a cable, and they didn't seem to comprehend what that means, and just tried to sell me a lower tier of service roughly equivalent to what I have now. While I doubt I'll be able to get better upload speeds, because most Internet providers are terrible monopolistic profit hoarders who are seemingly incapable of offering modern infrastructure, I am hoping there is some way I can get this data into the Internet as a one time thing, without waiting 24 days for it to upload. Any advice?

Thank you.
