Once upon a time, Fawcett, Nick <nfawcett at corp.mtco.com> said:
> We had three onsite Akamai caches a few months ago.  They called us up and said they are removing that service and sent us boxes to pack up the hardware and ship back.  We’ve had quite the increase in DIA traffic as a result of it.

Same here.  We'd had Akamai servers for many years, replaced as needed
(including one failed servre replaced right before they turned them
off).  Now about 50% of our Akamai traffic comes across transit links,
not peering.  This seems like it would be rather inefficient for them
too...
