A company I worked for had an external storage drive with the needed capacity stored in a safe deposit locker and every Friday someone drove to the bank, got the drive, drove back to the office, performed the backup and brought the drive back to the bank.
I'm planning on doing this, but every 6mo not 1w lol. My upload speed is abysmal as well and I only have absolutely critical things uploaded to off site storage, then I have a full backup locally and physically disconnect it until next backup (to guard against ransomware); am about to get a 20TB drive for this 'catastrophic event' backup plan, stored at the bank, just undecided which drive manufacturer to go with.
I figure if the house explodes or something, max 6mo data loss is acceptable vs almost all data loss. And avoids this bandwidth issue.
