Crashplan offers unlimited storage, yes, but they limit it indirectly by slowing down uploads.
I recently paid for a crashplan account to back up ~6TB of media, and at the speeds I'm seeing the initial backup is going to take more than a year. I have 100Mbit/s fiber at my home and can max it easily with other services.
So for 20TB, it's going to take many years to back up. I don't think that's a practical backup solution. There's a decent chance you're going to lose your data before the initial backup completes. And if crashplan goes under, you have to start all over again with the next "unlimited except for rate" provider, and have no backup in the meantime.
Did your upload start fast and then slow down? That's not network throttling that you're running into. I ran into as well as did "network rockstar": http://networkrockstar.ca/2013... I made the change described there and my upload speeds went back to normal, as "network rockstar" mentions here: http://networkrockstar.ca/2013... Have you tried those changes yourself?
