So when you upload to Backblaze you get 1Gbit/s?

I haven't specifically checked, but when we get to L3 were do have 1GBe.

You could do a simple test here:
https://www.backblaze.com/speedtest/I'm not sure it will tell the complete story though. I understand that Backblaze only has one datacenter i Sacramento, California. I don't know how many hops away that is for you. Any congestion, traffic shaping etc on the way will lower your bandwidth.

@Pete-S At my workstation I'm getting 225Mbit/s down and 155Mbit/s up (clearly not symmetrical there. . .) but not bad either considering I have nothing special configured for my workstation.
On a second test I noticed this A connection of 152.8 Mbps upload would backup 1,650 GB in a day
So this very well could be feasible to do.

what you get is totally dependent upon so many factors - and you know you can't control those factors over the internet.

I understand that, but those speeds meet/exceed what would be created within a week. Which if the backup process took 2-3 days to complete that would be fine.

If you already have B2, the best thing you could do, I think is run it for a week and see how far it makes it.

Yes, that's not too bad. It could work. As @dafyre and other mentioned you should give it a try.
$.005 per GB is $5 per TB. So get an account and upload 2TB of random data to see how long it takes. Only going to cost you 10 bucks to find out.
