While we are on topic of DDOS, it looks like it's quite a storm now. According to this WHT post [1], some large server providers were recently attacked, and many are still being attacked with quite a large bandwidth, ie 1Tbps attacks against OVH.

Didn't realize Akamai kicked out or disabled customers
Any business is likely to kick out customers that cost them much more than they are being paid (under relevant contract terms of course). Since his blog was being hosted for free, it isn't surprising that Akamai told him they couldn't do that anymore.
It certainly isn't fair to expect Akamai (and their paying customers) to deal with that.
