I didn't want to over complicate the checking method but I should have put a proviso in the first email: when you have Akamai static caches closer to you the only real check is to take a capture of the streaming traffic and see where its hitting, as Patrick mentioned below. Steve
Hi Guys,
To nip this in the bud before we get overwhelmed by the me-toos, the Akamai *caching* servers are different to the *streaming* servers. Start a Apple trailer playing and check out where the traffic is coming from.
Hope this clears things up for people.
Cheers, Patrick

TelstraClear has a direct connection to Akamai, or at least it appears to from here at Waikato uni.
I believe Xtra also has a direct link as well.
