I agree that the benefits of "it's ZFS" is an important thing people miss when they say "oh I'll just use GCS or S3". And the bandwidth to get your data back out is absolutely material. Your bundled price is seriously a good deal at lots of points in the option space. But, I would like to quibble with the "online" comment about Nearline or Coldline: there's no access penalty (now). We kind of quietly announced it in June or so, but Kirill the PM linked to it again. I had understood the "default" rsync.net choice to be in a single location, so comparing to our multi-regional (as opposed to Regional, Nearline or Coldline) seems incongruous.
