    what is difference between DSD and CDN

    I purchased Liquidweb's Akamai CDN offering from this page:
    https://www.liquidweb.com/services/cdn.html

    Right after the purchase, they are saying that i can't do live streaming and their email says "It's very nice to meet you, and what you ordered was 2.5TB Monthly Transfer of Akamai DSD"

    Can they advertise this way? Is there any CDN provider that doesn't differentiate and allows streaming?

    EdgeCast allows you to do streaming. (Next to normal file delivery)
    Use speedyrails.com - there's a 10USD flat fee (minimum requirement) if I remember correct, and 0.15USD per gigabyte.

    If you would, could you please direct message me with an account or ticket number?

    Hi,
    DSD is just the commercial name of the most basic Akamai caching service. You can deliver streams through this solution, but it is better to use a specific streaming solution, like Akamai Hd Streaming.

    thank you for the clarification! how much it would roughly cost me for 50-100meg usage on the Akamai HD streaming?

    Hi,
    Aprox. $50, but you should contact a reseller for exact pricing.
