CDN with South America peering points / edge nodes

Question

Hello,

Does anyone one know of a CDN (Content Delivery Network) with true South American peering points or edge nodes? This seems to be quite rare. It seems that most CDNs serve Central and South America from Texas. However, our application requires low latency in Brazil, so this is not a good solution for us.

We would like to avoid having to set up servers in South America just for this piece of the application, but may end up doing that.

Thanks,

Bill

Akamai does. Unless the application is pushing hundreds of terabytes a month then going through VPS.net for Akamai access is your best bet. They are only reseller I know of that offers Akamai at a reasonable price. Going through Akamai directly requires a 2 year contract and thousands of $$ upfront.
