Verizon increasing the size of their Online Backup accounts

Verizon is quintupling the size of most of their online backup accounts, bringing them more in line with competing services. The new accounts are:

• 5 gigabytes (GB) of storage capacity for $1.99 a month (previously 1GB).
• 25 GB for $4.99 a month (previously 5 GB).
• 50 GB for $6.99 a month (previously 10 GB).
• 150 GB for $12.99 a month (previously 20 GB).
• 250 GB for $19.99 a month (five times the storage capacity of the previous highest-capacity offering of 50 GB for $30.99 a month).

Free accounts of up to 250 GB and more information about the paid accounts are available at www.verizon.com/backupandshare. While pricing is now more in line with other backup products, the feature set leaves a bit to be desired; 64-bit windows versions are not supported, and neither are Windows 7, Linux or MacOS.
