All the time doing this my bandwidth is getting chewed up with Bigpond, searched JustCloud and found that with all their enhancements they advised best bandwidth speed for them was 4 to 8Gb per 24 HOURS, doing the maths I found that at best (8Gb) it would take 7.5 days to upload.

After a bit of a protest they agreed to cancel my subscription, they did offer a 50% discount!, so got the money back but not the $14.00 for turbo, I'll put that down to cost of education :-).

Happy to get out of it as I think it would have been a costly disaster, moving 30 meg RAW files around the internet is time consuming and costly, my solution, just purchased a 4Tb NAS

I stuck with the basic unlimited package of 9.95 per month---no up grades. At the moment I am 37% through my initial upload and I have been at it since Sunday. So I am guessing a full two weeks for the initial upload of almost 400 gig. But what I do remember from my MOZY days is that once the initial upload is complete, the incremental backups are very quick and rarely noticed. Even after a full day of shooting, lets say 1200 21 meg photos will only take a couple of hours to backup if that. And normally this occurs while you are sleeping if you schedule it that way.

With data upload charges and serious impact on bandwidth, I agree with you---this wouldn't be a good solution; but for me, it just seems to work for the moment. Although, I'll give it a month or two before final judgement is made.
