I've used borg with rsync.net for several years for my primary off-site backup and have had fantastic reliability and support from them. They cover the usage of borg on their website[1] and support a range of other backup tools as well (including even just simply copying data over SFTP and relying on automatic ZFS snapshots on their end). I pay something in the region of $100 USD a year for this service. My secondary backup is borg as well, this one hosted on a Hetzner Storage Box[2]. Having seen some bad practice in this thread, I want to make it clear that I am not duplicating the rsync instance to Hetzner but have created a separate instance entirely to avoid issues with the primary borg instance being replicated. From what I understand this is best practice (although it does mean I have to run the backup process twice--once to rsync.net and then again to Hetzner). Hetzner also provides info[3] on using their service with borg. I pay around 3.50 EUR a month for this service. I chose rsync.net due to their CEO being active on HN and also because they're based in North America (away from me in the Pacific). Hetzner , I chose because they are based in Europe giving me both operational diversity (operated by two different unrelated companies) and locational diversity (Western US for rsync.net and Northern Europe for Hetzner. Hetzner sharp pricing also helped as well. I'm sure I looked at BorgBase at one point for my EU-based backup location but something must have put me in Hetzner's direction instead. I also store photos (not my general backup, for now) in AWS S3 (largely because that makes it easier to deploy my static photo album site which it itself deployed via S3+CloudFront). I use S3 standard storage (for the time being) for a bucket in Sydney (nearest to my location) and then a glacier storage in Ireland for a bucket which is automatically replicated from my Sydney bucket. Hopefully all this is enough redundancy! But all up I only spend ~ USD20 or so a month for this peace of mind.
