Is the Akamai price difference based on bandwidth bursting during peak hours of the day and being "faster" from it's cache servers?
Just trying to figure out how bandwidth can be cheaper from the source from a dedicated line than from a supposedly cheaper edge cache network.

The Akamai price is incredibly expensive for that amount of connectivity, no matter how you analyze it. Like I said, call me on Monday I'll let you talk my ear off. There's a big learning curve to this.
