RSAWEB launches local CDN

ISP RSAWEB announced today that they are launching a local content delivery network called AfriCDN

This AfriCDN is expensive.

If you really need a CDN node in SA, then it is much cheaper to use Rackspace's Cloud Files, which uses Akamai's CDN, http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/cloud_hosting_products/files/ . Here is a thread about it, http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/301829-Rackspace-Cloud-now-with-Akamai-CDN

RSAWeb really need to adjust their bandwidth on their hosting packages. To pay R3000 on a Dedicated Server and then you only get 30gb bandwidth, is crazy.

I don't see any mention of where their CDN nodes are. Anyone know?

I know this is late but they'll have 2 in SA and nodes in Europe, Asia and the US as far as I know. The pricing isn't to bad I think but I'm sure prices will drop soon.

AfriCDN is also only at a stage where you can make PULL requests (only adds objects to the cache if they've been requested). Apparently pushing objects will come in March.
