My company was acquired and forced to switch to Akamai. The speed is good, and service is decent. However, the interface is RIDICULOUSLY confusing and they tried to bill us for a ton of different features which our old CDN provided at no cost because akamai had to spend 'hours' coding to enable them on our account.
We currently store about 3gb with Akamai's NetStorage, push roughly 80TB/month in video bandwidth which is about 5 million video views.
We were much happier with our former CDN - BitGravity. They streamed video like no other and had everything ready to go a few minutes after we signed up with them. We also had a stellar support guy named Marco on our account who took care of issues within the hour when we emailed.
Also have a bit of experience with CDNetworks (formerly Panther Express) who were great until they got acquired. Now they have lots of downtime and a very very very annoying sales staff constantly trying to upsell.
