What's the point of the Alliance in this case?

if I use against-the-alliance corp, i will just pay the storage+download from backblaze, just the same as using in-bed-with-alliance corp.

Or does the alliance will ensure i only get charged for 1download per file per billing cycle, no matter if the CDN cache can't hold all the data and they download it many times? Does the alliance ensure (and more importantly, who monitors) it?

Hey good question, it's essentially a peered connection so you're not paying for the transfer between providers, you can learn more here -> https://www.backblaze.com/blog/backblaze-and-cloudflare-part...
