Thanks for sharing your perspective. In your case, are all CDNs equal? Do I just have to throw my content to the biggest provider? Don't get me wrong. Disenfranchisng non-Western visitors is the last thing I want to do, but the issue is not CDN or not, it's caching content closer to people whose ISPs don't provide sufficient service outside their own borders. I dislike that CDNs are the only way around this and I feel like it is centralizing Internet access in an unfavorable way.

> In your case, are all CDNs equal? The big data centers in this region are in Singapore and I expect all CDNs have a presence there, so probably. I haven't exactly done any benchmarking though. > the issue is not CDN or not, it's caching content closer to people whose ISPs don't provide sufficient service outside their own borders. How would you do this without a CDN (on a small budget)?
