So the lesson from this is Spudstr from YellowFiber concedes that if you run a massive tube network (you know, those frikken massive TB-sucking content things) and deliver it over CDN for best end-user speeds, you'd be better off hosting with OVH cos their prices are shit low, their DC connectivity is great and well, the CDN takes over the last mile to deliver shit fast content delivery to your customers.
Hell, in that situation the increased costs in implementing a quality CDN are covered by the decreased costs in switching ISP.
