Paying for your CDN - Is it worth it to pay to stream live

I don't know; it's worth it for the 5 second delay alone but why do that when you can set up your own server or use a service that also does RMTP streaming. I mean I need the least delayable stream possible for the network but I don't want to do Ustream because it's expensive or any other service because I need special software that does not support OBS.

Just my two cents.

Yup.. so thats kinda the same situation that we are in. Is it worth spending the money for the 3-5 second delay / no pre roll? What we need to do it spend the money and get a new CDN for our video on demand content. Archive is not cutting it for us
