I can't speak with authority since I'm not with Akamai, but I requested a cache maybe a year or so ago. At the time I was told they were moving away from caching unless you were doing well over 100Gbps consistently, just due to the massive scale of their data not lending itself well to caching in smaller installs. Their cache hit percentages were getting lower all the time. They were really pushing for doing PNI or hitting them over an IXP instead. It's possible something has changed though, just wanted to throw my experience out in case it helps. Can't hurt to reach out and make a request and see what they tell you directly. I got a response pretty quickly and they were nice about it.
