I believe Apple has an agreement with Akamai. Here are some data points for just one household with two macs, two iPhones, and two iPads

www.isg-apple.com.akadns.net 571 requests in the last day

us-courier.push-apple.com.akadns.net 558 requests in the last day

.akamai.net 709 requests in the last day

and

.akamaiedge.net 1967 requests in the last day
