I had a pretty underwhelming experience with rsync.net and their cheaper version without snapshots a year ago. Speeds where initially 1MB/s on a gigabit connection between Sweden and their Switzerland location. After complaining they exempted me from traffic shaping and I got 2-4MB/s instead.

I know who you are and I am sorry to hear about this (again).

This is a weird, known issue that somehow keeps cropping up on our init7 network connection specifically to scandinavian countries.

I'm sorry we couldn't resolve it.

If you can stand your data being in the United States, our Denver location has a 10gb he.net fiber connection which is God's own Internet. Recommended.

Nice to hear that my experience was the exception and not the rule! I'm pretty happy with my current solution combining a cheap VPS in the Netherlands for the "I need a server to put some files on" usecase and (encrypted) backups to Backblaze B2, but I'll keep it in mind if I ever need some storage in the US :)
