I have tried anycast from buyvm, but it was a bad experience, maybe I have configured it wrong.
this is the most likely option
the use of cdn is mostly to give access to the files, the latency of the live for now is not important, right now we are just looking for a more accessible way than with google cloud, aws or similar providers.
You want to manage the anycast DNS yourself, using a provider that is known by everyone as doing it well without requiring their own services (which kinda rules out CloudFlare since their anycast has a lot of caveats if that's all you're using from them, for instance).
One place I worked, we would have users on a new node within 10 seconds of bringing it online in their region without disrupting anyone or affecting other regions. Basically what most people are trying to hit with a CDN without the many layers that can get gnarly.
Note that I'm specifically referring to anycast DNS to unicast hosts. Point the users where you want them and you're a good way to a solid low-latency solution.
AFAIK BuyVM by @Francisco provides 10Gbps uplink for premier accounts - people who used more than 6 months for his service.
But I'm pretty sure he'll not be happy if you use Petabytes of transfer every month.
Where is $50 coming from?

hm
Oh it actually requires 6 months of active service
Sorry, kinda messed up my memory

True, but it can be any service.
There's $5/year shared people with premier

You can check about Tempest.net Their dedicated servers are the cheapest 10g dedi I know of.
nah, I know even cheaper 10Gbit dedi
OVH has some very cheap ones actually with 10Gbit
On the other hand, I'd be highly hesitant to try to do a project like the one described on OVH's network. I've legitimately had to move off of OVH a few times in the past due to impossible to diagnose network issues reported by users.
I've never had any of these issues
But then again I do pay for upgraded business support lol
So did we. And they about crapped their pants when we cancelled just over 100 boxes at once, one time.
oh well must be my luck then,
Yeah. But we were doing realtime type things, so random 200-1000ms latency spikes for minutes on end to various parts of the USA just were not something we could have.
We had a couple dozen issues tracking individual cases when we canceled that swath of boxes. Their support would respond every week or so with useful feedback like "have you had the user run Windows Update?" which was hilarious when one of those times was a fixed-location iOS device. That was probably the particular instance that was when we decided to cut our losses: it was obvious we weren't getting any support people who were empowered to actually find the cause of ongoing large amounts of jitter.
I mean I remember when their USA datacenter was brand new I had deployed a dedi and the switch that it was connected to wasn't even setup for production use so I had a dedi that couldn't connect to the internet for like 2 days lol
Solved with less than $300/mo thanks in part to cloudflare and R2 technologies solutions and various other methods,
thanks for your help.
