This is not the case with Google Cloud Storage. I cannot speak to the other providers.

Google Cloud Storage does not limit read or write throughput with the exception of our "Nearline" product (and even Nearline's limiting can be suspended for additional cost, a feature called "On-Demand I/O").

That's good to know, and definitely adds credence to my opinion that networking is the area where Google is definitely winning the Cloud Wars(tm)
