Earlier quoted context omitted.

I considered hubiC, but all download syncs (from the website and application) for now are limited to 10mbit (even from the UK). There are several posts complaining about this on hubiC's forums. If you don't care about this, it's a really great deal, but to me it is a deal breaker.

i think i agree, but then again ive been uploading my 80gb of backups for a while now there is also the fact that this may be faster than dropbox anyways due to hubix being hosted in europe i imagine there was also high demand for this from the start so limits made sense, but they should start removing them

I really hope they do drop the limits.

I've had no trouble downloading at around 3.5Mbytes/sec+ from Dropbox in the UK. I would have definitely went with hubiC otherwise.

You can't have the price of good fluctuating all the time in Europe because the relationship between the dollar and euro have changed. They fix the price, it accounts for VAT and sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less.
