Hi, Not that I want to open a flame war, but.. $.80 per gigabyte? even I (as " hetz.biz", my business) sell equivalent service for less then that price, and my servers are located in Israel. They brag about "international", but looking at their FAQ, they do a backup to some international location, so as a user, if you're connected from Israel or you're connecting from US, you'll be connected to the same server, with all the latencies etc..
