²) Unlimited is not infinite. These plans limit you to the amount of storage on the covered computer's hard disk, and/or slow your transfer speed (if you exceed a number of GB's).
³) CrashPlan bandwidth seems limited:
- People started to complain about the slow transfer rates to their backup servers. I also tested the upload speeds from several networks in germany on internet connections with up to 100 MBit in both directions and I could not get any transfer rate above 3 MBit/s.
