History & Notes

HolaCDN was part of Hola’s broader ecosystem, which faced scrutiny over its peer-to-peer VPN model before pivoting to CDN services. No official EOL notice is available, but community reports on platforms like Reddit suggest service degradation started around 2020. The parent company, Hola, continues to operate its VPN services, but no revival of HolaCDN is indicated.
Telia Carrier was a leading provider with over 320 PoPs in 120 cities, known for its extensive fiber network and DDoS mitigation. The rebrand to Arelion reflects its shift to a standalone entity under Polhem Infra, focusing on global connectivity for enterprises and operators. No service discontinuation was reported, but the Telia Carrier brand is fully deprecated.
