I get that. We were in the same boat here in Houston up until getting space at Databank HOU2. Since all of the big content networks have presence there, only made sense. We were looking at all of the caching options available prior to doing that, however… and we’ll likely have to keep our Google stuff until either we go to D-FW, or Google comes to Houston.

Anyone out there using Netskrt CDN? I mean, installed in your network for content delivery to your customers. I understand Netskrt provides caching for some well known online video streaming services... just wondering if there are any network operators that have worked with Netskrt and deployed their caching servers in your networks and what have you thought about it? What Internet uplink savings are you seeing?
