Shared hosting with FlyingCDN or BunnyCDN?
FlyingCDN is bundling BunnyCDN (CDN) and Bunny Optimizer (image optimization) and provides 100GB per month for $3. They say instead of manually configuring BunnyCDN and BunnyOptimizer, FlyingCDN is pre-configured and cheaper than directly getting Bunny.
Do any shared hosting companies provide this CDN in their plans?
If anyone here have used it, how is the performance compared to using a bundle of free Cloudflare CDN/QuicCloud CDN with paid Shortpixel image optimization?

fun fact: FlyingCDN uses Cloudflare...
Maybe their website uses Cloudflare but they are providing CDN services from Bunny.
My sites run on Bunny and I'm pretty happy with it. Link in the signature if someone wants to test. Response time is sub-50ms in most places and cache hit ratio is 95% or more mostly.
I also have sites on Cloudflare and would say the performance is less consistent and slower in general.
1) FlyingCDN uses BunnyCDN, so they’re both the same except FlyingCDN includes Bunny Optimizer (for image optimization) and geo-replication. FlyingCDN also costs less than going directly to BunnyCDN ($03/GB compared to the cost of BunnyCDN, Bunny Optimizer, geo-replication).
2) If you’re spending over $10/mo between FlyingCDN/Cloudflare, look into just using FlyingProxy. It’s also from Gijo and is basically Cloudflare Enterprise with APO, Mirage, Polish, and several other features (include WAF). The only downside I’ve seen is that it doesn’t come with Argo Smart Routing. It’s $10/mo for 1 site and should be even faster than those setups you mentioned. You can do a before/after test in KeyCDN’s performance test or Speed Vital’s TTFB test to see the difference.

Don't bother, Gijo announced that ever since the launch it has been negative, therefore, they will shut it down soon. Saw it on a Facebook post made by him.
Edit: Its actually also on their site https://flyingproxy.com/shutting-down
do they accept btc?
Is that the free Cloudflare plan or the paid one?
Yes, they shut down the Flying Proxy. The FlyingCDN and FlyingPress still up and running.
Tom recommends mainly Rocket hosting, which I think is a high-end, expensive for LET community. As recommended in a comment above, @speedypage is providing BunnyCDN and BunnyOptimizer but don't know how they compare to Rocket's hosting which provides Cloudflare Enterprise features.
With this kind of pricing (rocket.net), surely it's not for LET users. $30 for just 1 site and 50GB BW? Cmon...
Free one via Cloudflare Pages.
"Response time is sub-50ms..."
Is it TTFB? That's very impressive. Which hosting? And what's your TTFB without Bunny on the same host?
That's to download the HTML. TTFB would be less. More like 25ms.
Hosting is BunnyCDN + their own SSD storage. So no other company involved.
GTMetrix is not a good choice for testing web vitals. According to Webpagetest and Speedvitals, your TTFB is high.
196ms - https://www.webpagetest.org/result/230608_AiDcRB_7W8/
140ms - https://speedvitals.com/ttfb-test?url=https://www.borgbase.com/
Seems like still need to improve.
How would you improve this without changing the CDN? Which CDN would give better results? Do you have any page to share that you optimized?
Maybe you can try caching plugins like Flyingpress and optimization plugins like Perfmatters or Asset Cleanup Pro as well as image optimization plugins.
There are a few tutorials that you can follow to optimize

You can also check with Bunny about Perma Cache. Another comment about this is mentioned here

Quick question. It shows that your website IP is Datacamp Limited (GB) Is it possible to modify in BunnyCDN panel? Let's say I want it to be another country. Or is it just random? Does BunnyCDN support IPv6?
Also have you tried any other CDN's for example KeyCDN?
It seems BunnyCDN performs fastest as per the comparison reported by CDNperf
