Shockingly bad pricing from Limelight - .29 per GB w/10TB commitment. What are you getting from your CDN?

I was going to go with a CDN, but with such high bandwidth use, I figured out that they are all way too expensive. I've got a couple servers at FDCservers.net instead, one on 1Gbit and one on 100Mbit that are unmetered, and I can really max them out 24/7. I'm paying in the end about $0.003/GB - way better than a CDN.
