Bigpond (Cable at least) have had transparent proxies for years. Terrible at admitting they exist when trouble-shooting problems but they are there. Certainly Bigpond aren't the only carrier/provider to use them or Akamai - I am fairly sure PIPE, iinet, Internode and Netspace and a few other players have all installed Akamai cluster proxies a while back.To whom it may concern,
I would like Telstra/Bigpond to please explain why in the last 48 hours or so they have installed proxy servers on behalf of "akamai technologies" which is now routing all of my http (web) traffic through these proxy servers. I presume at very least all of Darwin's broadband traffic is also routed through these proxies.
