Limelight and level3 spring to mind as real providers, the rest are mainly resellers of these two.

CloudFare CDN is its own provider and does a fantastic job for the budget conscious.
I am currently in touch with Level3 directly (through my host) and am looking at the inherent possibilities. I did however also want to get a feel for what was available elsewhere and there are usually a lot of competitive deals being offered.

Thanks for the heads up on cloudflare; I had no idea they also did CDN. I always presumed they were just a frontend optimization service.

Thanks to the hosting companies that have contacted me via email / icq. I will be getting back to you in the morning.

Regards
