Even cloudfront is ridiculously overpriced for a CDN. If you're pushing anything close to real bandwidth you could do a lot better elsewhere.

- Consultant32452 13y agoIf you're pushing anything close to real bandwidth you're probably getting an individually negotiated price that is not public.

- tyw 13y agohttp://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/pricing/ http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/pricing/ the reserved capacity pricing is much better than the on demand pricing. Basically like EC2 on demand vs reservations. We set our reserved capacity at about 70-80% of what we expect to use most of the time. We could probably shave a few tenths of a cent per gig off but we get a good price on everything above what we've reserved so it's worked out. If you use a lot of cloudfront bandwidth without setting up a reservation, yeah... you're gonna pay through the nose.
