Forever, if this is still true. From a PC Magazine review about it
One important point about speed is that, though you have no maximum data cap for files stored on Carbonite's servers, once you pass the 35GB mark, your upload speeds are throttled down considerably, from 2MB/sec to 512Kbps, and once you pass 200GB, it's reduced further, to 100Kbps/sec—that's nearly dial-up modem speed. The premium account levels keep the speed up a 2MB/sec all the way up to 200GB uploaded. This throttling takes away some of the appeal of "unlimited"—some users who want a large amount of data stored quickly would do better to choose a "limited" 250GB account from another vender like SOS or IDrive.
