I do IT and I do a lot of file transfer stuff from home to office server and vice versa... Never thought I needed a "business" service. Backup solutions are available privately for $5 a month onwards. Wifi etc, setup you own once and for all if need be, one time small cost. These days if the "Fit hits the shan", you can always get by for a day with a good Hotspot from a phone ! No ?

PS: ditto on France, sister pays $35/mo for a gig fiber, vs $100 here, we're getting ripped off.
I don't need the "business"-level service - residential-level is fine, because I can simply decamp to work from home if need be.

I found a fiber Internet carrier - EDIT Centurylink - that will supposedly provide residential 900 Mb/s to my office for $70/mo. I scheduled an install. We'll see if they object when they see it is an office.

What backup solution ($5?) did you find?
