OTOH if you're paying enough, you get really good service and support (I have a bunch of friends who work there who say exactly what you're saying), so figuring out a way to use them through a reseller is actually a fairly legitimate choice.

I have to wonder how much is "enough" then, our account wasn't that small when we finally ditched Akamai.
Meanwhile none of the other CDNs has given us such a terrible experience. It's almost as if they care, imagine that!
When you consider that the performance differences are at best marginal (the only real differences exist on mobile and in emerging markets, and Akamai is not on top of that) there's really no good reason to put up with the spoiled brats of Akamai in this day and age.
