What cloud backup provider did you settle on? Dropbox has very slow uploads for me, so I'm curious what else is out there that works.

I'm finding spideroak superior to backblaze - it actually backs up my entire system rather than skipping /Library & /opt and allows me to backup external drives without needing to have them constantly plugged in. I think the pay-for-what-you-use model allows them to be a lot more flexible.

Backblaze has been a rock star for me over a year. It used to be very, very slow (My first backup took the better part of a week to get the "Initial" image in place) - but it was okay because their constant background backups only needed around 1 mbit to be effective (and, more importantly to me - invisible. Time Machine had a bad habit of ramping up my CPU).
But, recently, they must have made modifications to their system - because I routinely see backup in excess of 15 mbits/second. Highly recommended.
With an internet connection like that, CrashPlan might be more interesting. The fact that you could back up to a friends computer would be nifty to test.

Backblaze. But it's really cloud backup, not storage/sync like dropbox.
