I am testing the Reachability api, but my physical device only has WiFi access, as I don't have a phone contract. My code needs to distinguish between being connected to 3G/2G or WiFi. Is it possible to simulate a 3G connection on the iPhone simulator?
Clarifications: I am using Snow Leopard. Limiting the bandwidth is not what I need. I need for the actual interface to be identified as the 3G or 2G radio, as opposed to WiFi.

Simulate Poor Network on iPhoneOpen the Settings app and navigate to the Developer option. Select the Network Link Conditioner under NETWORKING option. Now enable the Network Link Conditioner & choose the network profile you want, and start testing how your app works in different conditions.
There are two ways to disable iOS Simulator's Internet connection: Unplug your network connection. Turn Wi-Fi off.
Go to Settings and tap Wi-Fi. Tap the Info button next to the Wi-Fi network that you're connected to. Turn on Low Data Mode.
If you are using Lion try the Network Link Conditioner
Nowdays there is a part in Preferences on the device (when registered as a developer device) where a "Network Link Conditioner" is available.

Edit: I'm not sure if this will work as an identifier for 3g though. I'll update my answer after I do some tests (I'm working on exactly the same thing right now!)
