If you consider that the best upload you'll get on FTTC (the most common domestic and small business connection) is 20Mbps ..............

We get about 60Mbps on our Plusnet Business FTTC - Not sure where you get 20 from?

Are you sure that is the upload speed and not the download speed? I don't think I've ever seen a VDSL package offering such high upload speeds?

Plusnet's own site says Business FTTC upload is capped at 19Mbps.

If you consider that the best upload you'll get on FTTC (the most common domestic and small business connection) is 20Mbps, It's going to take 4 million seconds to upload all of that 100TB to just one user.  That's not far short of 50 days running the theoretical maximum upload of the most common type of a domestic connection flat out.

I had the same consideration for not using a cloud service, as it takes a long time to upload them onto a server. And it would be painfully difficult to update them.

However, you got the purpose of the web server wrong. No user downloads the entire repository (as I need to upload them). You do not download the entire content of the MSE website here. The purpose to make these files available to the users.

And I agree with your 20Mb/s upload limit. I have 350Mb/s Virgin and the upload limit is around 15Mb/s.

“Specialist” photographs?

If you want guaranteed access it’d be normal not to have them stored at your home, is there any reason you’re not looking at this solution?

For m’y home I have three independent providers, a 4G modem, ADSL, and Starlink, with a load-balancing router which switches between them automatically.

Not exactly photographs but different sorts of graphics including videos.

I considered having different connections to guarantee uptime. I had this setup before for utilising LAN and WiFi connections, which were totally different.

For this, I have to get another connection, which is not dependent on the telephone line:

1. WiFi: I am not aware of a provider of high-speed WiFi.
2. Satellite Internet: the latency is too high.
3. 4G: It is too expensive for data transfer.

I forgot to mention, you have a miscalculation.

The maximum upload limit is 20Mb/s, not 20 MB/s. Therefore, it takes 50 million seconds to upload 100TB of data. The upload time for 100TB will be 500 days (not 50 days).

Yes, you're right, I forgot to multiply by 8.

Sorry - my bad - yes, UP-load
