It is unlimited if they can add capacity faster than you can upload data (which is true in this instance).

It can also be unlimited if the host limits the upload rate, such that the more data uploaded the slower the rate. Reasonable usage won't be affected, just the outliers.

Doesn't sound very 'unlimited'

As long as the integral of rate limiter tends to infinity, rather than something less, the storage is unlimited. It is not relevant how long it takes to get there.

It would be. It's unlimited space, not unlimited bandwidth to put things in that space.

I feel that's what CrashPlan does, over the last few years I've rarely gotten over 500 KB/s upstream, although with my LTE router I regularly get 4-5 MB/s.
