Variety is a good thing.

Make sure to pay close attention. MapQuest recently announced that they are going to discontinue their direct access OSM tile offering:

This is part of a ongoing reorganization of their offerings, it wouldn't be surprising if they flipped the switch on their other open data stuff.

Jeez, I had no idea that MapQuest will kill their free access. Thanks so much for sharing.
This is actually why we had to setup our own servers in the first place!
Would you consider adjustments so that subjectively the most important place is returned?

i.e. the London example I gave.

Cool, that's the missing bit of info I needed.
