Do you guys not have a local akamai node?? Seems like maybe @gilmore could help you out, that's a pretty intense surge for software updates. Our stuff gets hit, but nothing like this (our networks usually don't exceed 40mbps over satellite).
The MSO I used to work at had a fairly large akamai cache in Anchorage, AK. May be worth looking into if you guys haven't already.
