We are rate limiting the FCC to dialup modem speeds until they pay us for bandwidth

Since the FCC seems to have no problem with this idea, I've (through correspondence) gotten access to the FCC's internal IP block, and throttled all connections from the FCC to 28.8kbps modem speeds on the Neocities.org front site, and I'm not removing it until the FCC pays us for the bandwidth they've been wasting instead of doing their jobs protecting us from the "keep America's internet slow and expensive forever" lobby.


Somehow I doubt the FCC would even notice - I have no idea what websites they actually visit, especially ones they need enough that such an action would actually inconvenience them - but it’s an interesting idea.
