I’m having pretty heavy (lots of images) WordPress website with around 20-30k unique users per day (1,000,000 monthly).
German hosting that I use works fine in Europe, but many visitors from the USA, Asia and Australia complain about loading times.
Do you know any good, affordable hosting companies that provide fast browsing to people from the USA > Australia > the UK > the rest of Europe > the rest of World (in this order) as most of my visitors are from these places? 🙂
My current site “eats around 600 GB bandwidth monthly.
I was thinking about MediaTemple, but I have mixed feelings, many people say it totally sucks and even more love it.
I’d love the ability to buy additional bandwidth and using a few different WP blogs using one account.

Saw that you and a few others had their doubts about Media Temple. First off, if you have any questions feel free to ask. We have a good amount of customers with different experiences, be it bad or good. The shared service gets a lot more grief than our VPS, which many of our customers are very happy with.
I see many people recommending VPS hosting, and if that’s what you are looking for you may give our new (dv) 4.0 a look. Depending on your price range, we may or may not be the right place for you.

We do indeed have times where are we do fall short in providing consistently fast service. We are constantly working on improving our shared service to run as quickly as possible. At times the slowness is definitely our fault. At other times we find that customers are running sites that are either too big for what they have, or they are inundated with things that are making the site run slow (plugins, themes, etc.)
Finally, not all customers that carry that logo are sponsored, some of those customers are also using our referral program. We make the badges publicly available on our website.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any other questions regarding our services.
