We run into the same cost-related problems for our CDN. What we did to solve it was to rent dedicated servers that are near AWS regions. We used Route53 latency based routing to route traffic to that dedicated servers + Nginx + LUA. We're serving 300+ TB of traffic per month and the total price is just a percent of the RubyGems AWS Bill. There is some maintenance included with this solution and the problem is finding the right dedicated server providers.
