I use CDNetworks, and at a 50TB commit I'm getting /much/ better pricing than that... I've even been quoted better pricing than that by Akamai (which people in this industry view as notoriously expensive). I might encourage you to drop the quotes around "real" and look at actually real CDNs (the kind you have to call and negotiate pricing with): they aren't as expensive as you apparently think they are.


Are you seriously suggesting that imgur, which is currently doing almost 1PB/month, isn't using a "real" CDN?

Quotes are there because I've heard of people buying up "unlimited bandwidth" shared hosting packages, and using them as a cheap "CDN".


No, just that MrGrim is getting ripped off because he doesn't know the industry.


grim isn't paying that much for voxel. Voxel cut him a ridiculous deal in exchange for the advertising they get out of it.

We're talking about them right now. The only reason I mentioned them is because I heard about them in relation to imgur.
