what a difference bandwidth makes

I was getting about 30KB/s sustained out of my 2MB/s up 6MB/s down Comcast. Crap.  Backblaze said my backup would take 419 days.  Today I upgraded to 6MB/s up and 20MB/s down. These speeds were confirmed by Ookla.  Now BackBlaze says I will be backed up in 119 days.  Still too long, but better.  I suspect it will get even better over time.
