52.95 usd for the next year though?
No, $59.50 for second and subsequent years.
At Australian internet speeds many people would struggle to upload a few hundred GB in the first year.
Nah, its just the initial upload time of say…. A week or so to do this. This is my situation and I don't have fast speeds.
Lets take a "NBN" upload speed of 5mbit.

For ADSL2+:

27 days 18 hours 40 minutes
Now I personally wouldn't trust a service so cheap with my backups but perhaps it's data you don't care so much about or maybe you can use this service to host files I don't know.
But Barry is correct
At 1mbit for 1 year:

3.942 TB (terabytes)
Going through similar with go daddy renewal , was $1 per month 1st year now want $72 per year to renew …..so need to make new account , offboard and onboard to get $1 per month again ….. I really hate these entrapment offers ….. Doesn't promote loyalty if you feel you get less for renewal than they offer to new customers. Should be cheaper to renew.
Loyalty to a company is a bad idea
I haven't heard much about these guys but normal price is reasonably competitive to competition. I use both Carbonite and Crashplan for my customers which are both quite good and about $70 Aus per year for unlimited data.
Shell out the $60 (or less)/yr for office365, get legit office, some skype minutes, and 1tb of storage. No entrapment, just a good product.

If anyone going ahead with this service, I would recommend using 3rd party cloud encryption tool and not the one they use by default.
"If we provide your files to a law enforcement agency as set forth above, we will remove encryption from the files before providing them to law enforcement only if a default encryption key is used. We will not be able to decrypt any files that are encrypted using a user defined encryption key."
So after 1 yr, they will keep your data for ransom, unless you pay up their regular price?
52.95 usd for the next year though?
