        Akamai is a content delivery network (CDN) used by a lot of big companies like Microsoft, for example.  Instead of blocking them, you should try to find out what is consuming the bandwidth on your network.

            Use the traffic graph or the ntopNG package.

                  If your WAN graph has huge incoming bandwidth and no similar traffic matching on LAN outbound then it's the squid cache.
