rsync.net looks like a great service but it's just not really worth it to me at the moment, I just have too much data for it to be price effective.

With 800GB of data, I can send it to:

- SpiderOak: $130/year (1c/GB)

- Google Drive: $10/month (1c/GB)

- Dropbox $10/month (1c/GB)

- OneDrive $7/month (1c/GB)

- Amazon S3 $24/month (3c/GB)

- Google Cloud Storage $16/$8/month (2c/GB standard or 1c/GB Nearline)

- Rsync.net $160/month (20c/GB)

And that's not even taking the backup providers into account.

I definitely see where rsync.net would shine for business users because it looks like you have great support but for a regular guy who wants to backup his few hundred GB of photos and sync some files it doesn't make much sense.
