(from OVH to < CENSORED > I can upload a 400 MB file in about 45 seconds). And all three are also very good when it comes to deletions - ie they are very slow to delete. That is also why I won't be using Megaupload - slowish uploads, no FTP and they delete almost as fast as Rapidshare.
As a premium-user Netload is the best of those three, I can max out my connection at all times of the day. Depositfiles is also quite fast but not on the level of Netload. < CENSORED > is fast at certain times of the day but sometimes I only get like 3mbit/s. < CENSORED > and Netload doesn't have any quotas but Depositfiles "only" lets you download 15 GB a day. That may also be something to look at, the "no limits" on many filehosters is really bullshit, there's no such thing as free bandwith, so it may be that they cap your speed if you download too much or at certain times of the day. (which I think is what < CENSORED > is doing).
As a free-user Depositfiles is mostly useless - the "no download-slots for your country" is a familiar sight to any who uses Depositfiles as a free user. < CENSORED > is quite a bit better, not all that fast but you can get the files after a bit of waiting. Netload is the best of the three, with almost no waiting and the fastests speed i have seen for a free-user.
So if it's a important that free-users can get the uploads, then I would recommend < CENSORED > or Netload. Maybe Depositfiles could be approved with the caveat that you have to provide a mirror for free-users.

Thumbs up, Rabid! Netload is my favourite hoster, too. Especially because of the fast bandwidth up-&downstream >10MB/s, unlimited traffic, unlimited storage and because of the ftp-upload-function.
A lot of movie-sites now use netload, especially for HD-content.
So please add netload.in to the approved hosters!
