What other provider than Cloudflare is out there that offers the things Cloudflare does? Why are people not already switching to them if they are available?

- kevin_thibedeau 6mo agoAkamai is the OG Cloudflare, just not as cool.
- miohtama 6mo agoAnd costs 1000x more
- prmoustache 6mo agoTelefonica, the telecom company who bought the rights of LaLiga and btained the judgement against cloudflare IPs, sells some of those services through its business services branch.
- booi 6mo agoTo say that Telefonica offers even remotely the same services and features that Cloudflare does is a lie at best.
- prmoustache 6mo agoThe keyword was "some".
- devmor 6mo agoIn the same way that a roadside lemonade stand run by a child offers some of the same services as a grocery store.
- prmoustache 6mo agoThere are plenty of giants that are super relevant in the global market but get their ass kicked in specific markets by the local offering. Like ebay, Uber, Starbucks, Taco Bell or whichever US brand/company you can think of. Telefónica is nothing globally compared to Cloudflare. But in Spain it competes in some areas. Exactly where this ban is happening. It is not hard to see a conflict of interest.
