For those of you impacted by such things, have you considered asking Akamai to install a local caching appliance on your campus? We did a number of years ago, it was free, and greatly reduces the impact on our commodity internet while boosting update speeds significantly. I know Apple is starting to roll out their own CDN, but for now, there are a lot of companies besides Apple using Akamai, so it's worth it. We also just established free direct peering with Netflix. Big improvement there too. Jeff
