  • wasabi is cheaper than B2 unless…

    • you store less than 1TB (they charge for a minimum of 1TB even if you store nothing)
    • you pay for any data you upload for 90 days minimum… so if you upload 500GB and then delete it within 90 days, you’re paying for it for the duration anyway…
    • You can only download the same amount as you store in a month without incurring egress costs.

    The 3 points above are how they can not charge egress for the majority of people.








  • your connection is 50 megaBITS not megaBYTES… so divide 50 by 8 and you’ll get your answer…

    50 / 8 = 6.25

    Now take in to account the overheads… the speed you’re seeing is completely accurate.

    If you wanted to download at 50 MegaBYTES as you insinuated then the same math applies…

    50 * 8 = 400

    So you’d need to pay for a 400 to 500 Megabit connection.

    I have a 900 / 110 connection and my actual MegaByte speeds are 90 / 10

    You may feel hard done by, but this has always been the way… as far as I know every ISP in the world markets in Mb (MegaBit) not MB (MegaByte)
