Would it matter if it took 10 minutes or an hour? 


Yes, it means the computer could be off for 50 minutes.
Also everyone who had a connection reset when uploading a big file after 55
minutes understands why it is good if it only would take 10 minutes.

Peace of mind is under-rated :)


What's the OneDrive rate limit?

This whole thread is about hypothetical futures, so it's not hard to imagine downloads filling to available 
capacity. 
Mike 

So, a good example of how this capacity is used, In New Zealand we have a pretty broad fibre network covering most of 
the population. My niece asked me to share my backup copy of her wedding photo’s/video’s the other day. I have a 
4Gb/s / 4Gb/s XGSPON connection and she’s got a 1Gb/s / 500Mb/s GPON connection. I simply dropped a copy of the 5.1G 
directory into a one drive folder and shared it, 10 minutes later (one drive is still limited in how fast you can 
upload) she had it all and she was very happy. With these speeds its not even a consideration to think about 
capacity, everything just works.
