I'm curious as to whether 100kbps will even keep up with my ongoing changes - it'll take 5-6 days to backup an average weekend photo shoot.

I don't see many options at a better price/GB rate. I may need to trim my RAW files being backed up and count on my DVD backups.
I have not noticed this. Backups appear to me to proceed at a reasonable pace, including photographs. I have 48.5GB stored.
