For comparison, Bootstrap is 180KB, Elm is 29KB and Vue.js is 100KB.
It might not be much for sites otherwise dealing with large multimedia assets, but for anyone going for lean / fast web development, this seems to be a no-go.
The pricing link doesn't work on my iPhone/mobile safari. Now the site is down...which makes me think this cdn doesn't work so well. I currently pay ~500/mo for a cdn so I am a real potential customer.
So... Hetzner bandwidth is $0.00112/GB, almost 18x cheaper than arc.io ( https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Traffic/en ) And Hetzner is a no-nonsense real company that's been around since 1997. Hetzner machines have dedicated 1Gbps connections. Arc.io promises nothing. Arc.io is a faceless company with no track record, no history, and doesn't say how long they've been around. Who would you choose?
What would our technological landscape look like currently if everyone was hostile against new companies? Old doesn't mean good.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
More importantly the performance of Arc.io website is dreadful. If you're going to sell high-performance then you should at least make your own website perform well. If your website performs well then I'm more likely to believe your story.
If you think performance problems mean a bad CDN, you're probably not the target audience.
This is neat and all, but their widget.js file is 888KB. For comparison, Bootstrap is 180KB, Elm is 29KB and Vue.js is 100KB. It might not be much for sites otherwise dealing with large multimedia assets, but for anyone going for lean / fast web development, this seems to be a no-go.
They mention transparency but I don't see anything being open-source? Seems like something so community focused would benefit from that.

$500/month is quite a lot. Are you hosting videos? Or some high traffic image site?

There's also BunnyCDN, which is $0.01/GB - https://bunnycdn.com/

Content from https://arc.io/pricing : CDN Bandwidth $0.02 per GB Egress (worldwide) (76% cheaper than AWS1) Usage is billed monthly, on the first day of each calendar month. Additionally, only peer-to-peer egress bandwidth is billed; all peer-to-peer ingress bandwidth is free. For example, if a 100kB image is loaded from Arc's peer-to-peer network, only 100kB of bandwidth is billed, not 200kB (100kB of egress + 100kB…
That makes no sense and this whole idea sounds like a pitch I would see for an ICO.
