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

Tip for best answer: M$2.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Amazon Cloudfront has very good pricing with no commitment.

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.
