50Mbps is actually quite a lot, and it's probably close to the bottleneck of your disks. You should use "iostat" on client and server while backups are running to see if you're getting 100%util of the disks that are being backed up. In BackupPC's case, as it will transfer only the differences, it will end up reading from disk much more than it actually sends on the network, so using network bandwidth as a measure of backup speed will not be very accurate.
