Me too, and I live in the middle of Europe, without such problems as a
SSL-blocking Golden Shield or abysmal international links.
Despite many fast mirrors nearby, deb.debian.org almost always connects me
to a server in the US (I got NL just once). Tried from three ISPs.
So if this CDN has problems in France and Poland, I don't see it working
right in China, Iran or Cuba.
