CDN suggestion
You might also want to give StreamGuys a try. I've been with them for several years now (they host my colo streaming server plus a couple of my websites), and their service has always been great.
Their website is streamguys.com0

I think you could even do Amazon's S3; a poor man's CDN

pantherexpress.com has been good to us for image caching. Free trial as well.

Cachefly is pretty decent to start with. They are one of the only CDNs that I'm aware of that has list prices on the site and self-service sign up. From a performance standpoint, its not too shabby -- we've used Cachefly in the past.
We currently use Akamai though but I would recommend it only if you have a more solid understanding of your traffic requirements and ROI.0

Panther is a good option; Level3 has some pretty aggressive pricing as well.

For those of you who are reccomendating Panther for CDN, can you please let us know what your experience is with this host?

Please for the love of all that is holy - stop referring to Amazon S3 as a CDN. They are an Online Storage Provider and thats about the extent of it. Just because you serve up the media from two locations does not a CDN make. They use cogent almost exclusively - and offer very little in the way of value adds.
Try CacheFly - inexpensive, quick, now serving from 12 POPs globally

They just work. They deliver multiple terabytes of images for us each month and in the year we have been using them they have never had an issue. We have been very tempted to try and bring this back in house but Panther does such a great job for so cheap that it would take years to make back our ROI.

CacheFly's pricing is on their website for accounts up to 1200GB. You have to contact them for pricing 2TB and beyond, but they are more than reasonable. Also, storage pricing is much lower than listed on their site. (trying to scare away low IP customers with big storage.)

It's been my experience that you get what you pay for when it comes to streaming providers.
I don't mind paying a little more as long as I get the quality and level of service that goes with it. And I've gotten nothing but the best from StreamGuys.0

All of the bigger CDN services price based on commits. The discounts are usually not available until you get into some decent numbers. That's why I was asking about pricing for those CDN's that do not publish pricing or are known to discount from rack rates.

Peer1 has a CDN I believe, as well. Can't tell you its quality, don't know, but I think it has like 15+ POP's that its served from.
