Vancouver & Montreal, Canada: CloudFlare's latest data centers

On December 17, 2015, Cloudflare expanded its network in Canada by adding points of presence (PoPs) in Montreal and Vancouver, making it the second and third largest Canadian metropolitan areas respectively. This expansion brings the company's total number of PoPs globally to 71. The web sites, mobile apps, and APIs of all Cloudflare customers are now delivered at a speed that is millions of times faster than the fastest NHL slapshot. Canada has one of the highest internet penetration rates in the world with nearly 87% of Canadian households connected to the Internet. In 2013, Canadian enterprises sold over US$100 billion in goods and services online, up from US$87 billion a year earlier. Latency is an important factor affecting e-commerce transactions, as Amazon found that every 100ms of latency cost them 1% in sales. Cloudflare plans to add more data centers during the holiday season to further improve internet speeds and reduce latency for its users.
