Cost is unlikely to be most important. If it were the CDN could just buy the cheapest transit, accept a default route and call it a day.
In the article Fastly has 13 transit links at one site and the ability to ping each route to determine the best path. They would hardly go to all this trouble if cost control was the main objective.
