akamai download servers have long been throttled by plusnet, and this isn't my issue -- it's that I am still struggling with poor browsing experience from websites hosted at deploy.akamaitechnologies.com (e.g. www.alfaromeo.co.uk)
any comments from the plusnet networks or comms staff ?

I realise it's all heavy lumps of file traffic with all that flash video and images, but many evenings it can take (quite literally) 4 or 5 minutes to load pages; which isn't good for a 6MB connection like mine ...
If it's just congestion at Akamai then I'll have to lump it but I wanted to rule out a PN glitch
(by the way, windump (tcpdump) run with a -v option gives the TOS field we needed without having to install Wireshark)

I've been having problems with akamai hosted video streaming - all classified as 0x60, which is what prompted me to do a search, and I came across this thread. I checked out the alfa romeo site, and that is being classified as 0x60 also.
It seems this has been going on for more than 6 months, and is clearly still a problem. What is plus net planning to do about it? I have raised a ticket which includes a link to a video on facebook, which seems to be served from akamai - it is basically unmatchable.
