Cloud storage systems

I am currently using the Rackspace Cloud for cloud storage of files (pictures, videos, documents etc). I use the PHP API to access the Cloud (rather than through a public URL as I need the files to be private) but the latency on it is pretty bad. It takes about 4.5 seconds to connect.

Can anyone recommend a better and faster option?

A: 

Amazon S3 is reasonably priced and has always been speedy in our daily use. Their ACL permissions will let you have private files easily.

We're currently using this PHP client for it.

We're using the SMEStorage API and client tools from their Google Code site - they have some nice features in their API and some good code samples. You should also try and get hold of their free cloud Dashboard which supports Cloud Files
