I like this concept but think about how the user at the FCC will perceive this. When your internet is slow who do you blame?
1 - The site, i.e. "Yahoo must be getting a lot of traffic today."
2 - Your ISP. ie. "Comcast must be overloaded in my area right now."
3 - Your equipment. i.e. "Maybe I need to restart my wifi / PC"
And then, somewhere way down that list you maybe, just maybe think - "I wonder if there is an organized effort by a small group of developers to set up their sites in such a way that my particular IP here at the FCC is having its speed throttled."
I agree that we need to spread the word about what is at stake with Net Neutrality but I'm not sure if this is the best way.
- Fuxy 12y agoWrite a bit of code that tells them why the website is slow. Shouldn't be that difficult I get the same thing with cookies because i have a UK ip. Well not the throttling part but the banner part.
