    A couple simple questions:

    What's the big deal with Crashplan not offering "consumer" service? Can y'all not afford $10/month? It still seems remarkably cheap for the service.

    So, $5 or $10 per month, is that really the difference? I guess I don't understand why they called the tiers Consumer and Small Business. What difference does it make?

    • I ask because I'm about to sign up for something.
      ********
    • And it seems to me that $10/month for "Small Business" means maybe that they are thinking about long-term sustainability. Which is good, yes?

    • I don't need the cheapest service, I need the one I can count on.

    • problem is I'm not trusting a company anymore that decides to fuck a huge chunk of their customer base on a whim, so I moved to backblazeernexbcn
    • I think you should be asking yourself, what makes this better since it's twice as expensive, not the other way around.fyoucher1
    • Ok, that's a valid argument, but I can see reasons for them to do it. Plus they offered a deal with a partner, etc. That's pretty good, imho

    • @fyoucher1 Yeah, exactly. What makes Small Business better?

    • In a way, I like the idea of being on a different service to all the people who are only interested in the cheapest solution.

    • Are you on a different service? Or do you just get the privilege of paying twice as much?fyoucher1
    • I mean they might be offering better customer service but how often do you need c/s on your backup.fyoucher1
