Sia Community! Where do you see Sia's volume, velocity, and variety of data in 1, 3, 5, and 10 years? For comparison, here are some examples from IBM: http://www.ibmbigdatahub.com/infographic/four-vs-big-data
I am rooting for MineBox and my hope is that widespread adoption will help Sia compete with Azure, AWS, etc. But I can't build a business on hope...

The potential is enormous, and the fact that the service will be magnitudes cheaper then the big guys should help. Not to mention the better privacy and security Sia offers. It will be fascinating to see it unfold.

When do you think we could see upload and download speeds in the 200 - 300 Mb/s range? I have no doubts regarding the volume and security. It is the "velocity" of data that concerns me. It does me no good to store 99,xxx terabytes of videography, medical imagery, genomics, etc. if I can't access the bits I need, when I need them.

@parati performance is currently our core focus. With v1.1.1 you should be able to get ~100mbps of upload and ~20mbps of download sustained, at least out to your first 250 GB or so (then it'll start to slow down).
I'm guessing that 3-5 months from now you'll see sustained 200mbps upload + download out to maybe 20 TB of data stored. And of course from there we will continue to improve the speed and scale of the system.

Thanks for the quick reply! Assuming we have the fiber to support, can we string together 10 accounts and/or boxes to put one more zero on to those numbers?
Will the velocity throttling occur by node/account?
In the future, do you foresee an option to pay for more or less speed? Redundancy?
