Why don't you guys use CLOUDFLARE as CDN instead of FASTLY?

site I noticed you guys use FASTLY as your CDN, but I don’t get why you don’t use for example CLOUDFLARE which would provide huge benefits:

  1. Cloudflare bandwith is FREE
    a. Cloudflare doesn’t charge for bandwith, it’s free (could be they charge you guys since you are a huge company but for sure would be cheaper than fastly)
    b. This should save your company thousands of dollars
  2. More POP/datacenters locations to deliver the assets:
    a. Cloudflare: https://www.cloudflare.com/network-map
    i. And this are the ones they plan for 2015 which are insane: https://twitter.com/davidmytton/status/543126344377585664
    b. Fastly: http://www.fastly.com/network/
  3. Has many other good features but I think just the 2 above are more than enough to take into account
