How are Americans using Backblaze for multi-terabyte backups? comcast/xfinity has a 1TB/month bandwidth cap (unless you pay for the unlimited tier). The main thing that's held me back from getting a cloud backup solution is not knowing how I would feasibly backup my ~10TB of data.

Backblaze also has data centers in the EU, where most of the population has FTTP and even the people who don't are much less likely to have data caps because the EU is actually pro-competition.
