    Hi there,

    Just got an email from VPS.NET.



    Do you know any Akamai Resellers out there, that we can migrate to?

    Odd. Their web site still lists Akamai CDN as one of the services they provide.

    If you are looking for another good and affordable CDN , try Voxel.net ... I've used them my self.

    Hi,

    We chose Akamai for their network in Africa.
    Level3 only covers North America and Europe. So Level3 is not an option.

    Any alternatives?

    Thanks.

    I'm also interested in finding an alternative reseller for Akamai, and for the same reason: they seem to be the only CDN that offers a POP in Africa.

    Anyone know of any alternatives? Or know of another CDN that has a presence in Africa?

    Thanks
