Hmmm... what does it behave like during those 60 seconds?  Is it throttled,
or can we get data through by cycling through a series of fresh TCP
connections?

What does it do with UDP packets?  Could a datagram-based protocol defeat
this?  If they're interfering there, what about using TCP-looking packets to
fake it?  I.e., send SYNs with the data we really want to get through in the
body and let them waste resources on their routers tracking connections
that don't even really exist.
