Difficult to say for sure exactly how they would see the options, but:
They probably would be able to use the new Akamai system as a "regular" load balancer that worked in much the same way as the old one, but I don't know how much reconfiguration that'd entail - and depending on exactly what went wrong even whether it'd be desirable to them.
They may or may not have time to re-instate the Azure load balancer system that they've used for the last couple years, and doing so may or may not carry a cost. How viable that one will be is unknown to us, but someone at See will have a better grasp.
They could certainly turn off the queue, and have everyone hit the servers directly with no proper load balancing (as was normal until a few years ago). But that carries a serious risk of servers getting overloaded again.
Tbh - Akamai can handle the capacity. I'm not expecting this to go wrong.
