This article is from 2010, back when the edns-client-subnet [1] draft wasn't even published. I believe most CDN's are now whitelisted with Google's and OpenDNS's edns list, so you'll much better results. also see edns-client-subnet demo [2]

I don't know how many do, but Apple digital media purchases don't. OpenDNS causes movie download times to blow out to weeks for me on itunes.

Apple use Akamai, who are the exception here; which explains your problem.

Apple has a long running relationship with Akamai, but they also use Limelight and Level 3 for content delivery as well.

Really? I've never had that problem for movies. There are times apps seem to take a long time to update, though. I'll have to experiment.
