Even cloudfront is ridiculously overpriced for a CDN. If you're pushing anything close to real bandwidth you could do a lot better elsewhere.

If you're pushing anything close to real bandwidth you're probably getting an individually negotiated price that is not public.

Not with Amazon you aren't, they are amazingly stringent in their pricing on this matter.

http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/pricing/ the reserved capacity pricing is much better than the on demand pricing. Basically like EC2 on demand vs reservations. We set our reserved capacity at about 70-80% of what we expect to use most of the time. We could probably shave a few tenths of a cent per gig off but we get a good price on everything above what we've reserved so it's worked out.

If you use a lot of cloudfront bandwidth without setting up a reservation, yeah... you're gonna pay through the nose.
