CDN for media-heavy app

Hi guys

Some folks I've known for a long time are putting together a Web comic. It's not your average though - each page will consist of detailed panels and will be around 1mb per page with dozens of pages. In the background will be accompanying atmospheric music at about 3-5mb per track - it's quite the project and the site is being built in AngularJS and there's a big focus on making sure everything is served up as quickly as possible.

It's going to get quite a lot of hits the first week, so given the media-heavy nature of it coupled with the fact that there will be global interest, can someone recommend me a good CDN that will handle a lot of traffic? Commercial is fine as they want the best for this project.

You probably know both already, so perhaps you're looking for less well known alternatives, but I'd still suggest looking into Amazon CloudFront and/or CloudFlare. Big players have their benefits, and these guys can definitely "handle a lot of traffic" :)

Couldn't have put it better. Azure's CDN offering has recently become a heck of a lot more reliable as well. In my opinion not quite on par with AWS in some areas, but worth comparing.
