The current apple "media" is reporting it's likely going to amazon and =
microsoft azure.
I've not bothered to look too deeply at dns and packet traces myself.
I'm guessing that all these things are going to hurt the DSL providers =
more than the docsis/fttx/pon based providers. Those folks have broader =
capabilities by pushing updated configs to the devices. The DSL based =
providers are more limited in my experience and likely to see a poorer =
ratio of up:down. SDSL was just not common enough, so most A/VDSL based =
providers have something like 15:1.5 whereas comcast (for example) has =
22:5. I've seen the 22:5 service burst (or should that be buffer/manage =
the queue) to around 80Mb/s down in some cases.
This is something you are unlikely to see from a DSL provider unless the =
equipment is in-building.
