EasyNews is a Tier 1 mirror for CentOS:  
ftp://mirrors.easynews.com//linux/centos  (FTP / HTTP)
CaveCreek is a Tier 2 mirror as well:   
ftp://centos-distro.cavecreek.net/   (FTP / HTTP / RSYNC)

Both EasyNews and CaveCreek Webhosting are good and are in Phoenix. I 
downloaded a complete set of CD ISO's of CentOS off of both mirrors with 
very little wait.
