> When human-scale firms like Linode get acquired by massive companies, they lose their way.

Packet.net seems to be doing well under Equinix

It takes a little time for the big-corp cancer to ruin the acquired firm, usually. The Equinix deal was only like 18 months ago.

Equinix isn't Akamai, I'd consider them human scale.

Equinix market cap is 62B and 10000 employees

Akamai market cap is 18B and 8300 employees
