Large Data Upload

I will be needing to upload large amounts of data (~ 20K images - 30-50GB) of photos to a remote server about twice a month. Looking for best options to do this as quickly as possible. A residential connection won't work, no FIOS here, the most upload speed I could get would be 10Mbps up. Anyone know of any service that would provide options for a one time upload of that amount? Data center maybe? Looking in the 50Mbps up range. Any thoughts where I could find something like that?

Thanks

dropbox... its like 10 bucks a month for 500GB I love it for getting large packets to clients.

With large amounts like that, your best bet is to start the upload at night before bed, so that any browsing or work you might do is not impacted. 10meg upload is a pretty good speed, and could be done while you sleep. I think the packages I have where I live were all limited to 3-5megs at most unless you went with a business line, which is crazy expensive.

Not sure why you ask about a data center as you would still need to transfer the files to them.

A few options

1) Increase the speed of your residential line to 25 or 50MB and use Dropbox
2) Host an FTP server at your location.
3) Ship an external hard drive to the remote server location.
4) Find a local data center and drop off an external hard drive at their location for upload and/or hosting.

Dropbox and I dont mix. The end location will most likely be a server anyways. Its the upload speed I need. Dropbox is a destination, I need the speed to get to that designation. Overnight won't work either. Needs to be within a few hours. Residential line only offers up to 10Mbps and thats for a business plan. Slow as hell down here and not much for options.

I asked about the data center because I would physically drive to the center and upload direct. Not sure if thats an option or if any company offers that service or not. I know some companies accept mail delivery of hard drives for data upload, I am looking for that but save on the snail mail time.

Trying to eliminate the slowness of the residential lines on upload. My day job has 85Mbps upload and 100 Mbps download. I can't use their lines for this. With those speeds I would be golden as it would only take about an hour and a half. That is what I am looking for. Looking for a service that provides that.

1. Not an option.
2. Doesn't solve the upload speed issue. Have to delivery to a service, I wont have someone on the other end downloading for me.
3. Takes too long.
4. Looking into this. Inquiry into the Kissimmee location already.

Thanks!

On a side note, this new forum format is driving me nuts...

A data center is unlikely to provide a workstation. However you might check around and see if there is a Regus or similar you can use, or maybe find a business with good throughput that would allow you to use some bandwidth for a small fee.

Good idea on Regus! Will check that out. That might work out well actually. Thanks! Heard of them before but didn't think about that in this case.
