Rep:
what is your upload speed?
is it fast? there are many online services that offer you storage for backup and other stuff.. but what if you want to backup a 1GB file? or worse,, a 4GB one?
i mean.. these online services give you lots of GB.. even of TB order..
so you gotta use 'em somehow since you might be paying them...?
Although comparing down-/upload speeds is pointless (depends on what your ISP offers and what you decided to go for and it is only true for the connection between you and your ISP), here's mine:
113.4 Mbit/s down and 10.8 Mbit/s up (max would be 120 Mbit/s and 12 Mbit/s).

Not too bad, if I may say so.....
That's roughly 1.5MB per second upload, maximum? Sorry to be so cretinous.
Yep, 12 Mbit/s = 1.5 MB/s and that is my official maximum upload. I do reach ~13 Mbit/s at times, but it does need to be very early in the morning to reach that. At peak hours it drops to about 9/10 Mbit/s.
I guess I am one of the lucky ones if I look at the numbers posted by others......
