Recently I have been seeing more and more of Akamai based downloads.
Does anyone know why this might be? Doing a tracert to downloads.dell.com (For example) reveals the path doesn't go through BTs Core Network, and doesn't take many hops to get there.
I wouldn't mind if it wasn't for the poor download speeds I achieve with Akamai based downloads (BBC iPlayer Speedtest always shows a maximum of 10Mbps on its Test 1, even when trying on a 200Meg JANET connection).
Has anyone else experienced slower downloads from Akamai based networks? Is there a way to improve download speeds from Akamai?
