MWEB Guy: Level 3 and Akamai CDN

[Franna]

When will the Level 3 CDN edge server be up and running on the Mweb network as per:
http://mybroadband.co.za/news/telec...-content-delivery-with-level-3-agreement.html

Also, where did the local Akamai edge server on the Mweb network disappear to. The ping time to the local Akamai edge server was less than 20ms last year, but is now greater than 150ms and seems to connect to a server in the UK.

At one point our customers were able to access a locally hosted Akamai node via peering links however this is no longer possible. Unfortunately we don't have any dates available yet as to when the level 3 node will go live.
