I dont think Limelight has never served HD content. Akamai does both SD and HD and Level3 (the problem server) does HD and Limelight does SD.

Don't think it will make any difference to you. HLS is slowed that RTMP but is still a good speed. 2.93 and 2.94 are the same except for a fix for a few live streams. Nothing changed with HLS.
