The nation’s largest cable provider is taking a page from Verizon and offering an online backup drive and limited file-sharing, according to DSL Reports. According to the report, the Comcast backup service will offer several storage options: 10GB worth for $4.99 a month, or $49.99 per year; 50GB for $9.99 a month or $99.99 year; or 200GB for $19.99 a month. That’s cheaper than Verizon’s offering and other online backup and sharing options such as those from IBackup, but still expensive when compared with pure-play online backup companies such as Mozy and Carbonite, which charge less than $5 a month.
