How do you mimic low bandwidth for testing HTML rendering on slow computers? I'm using Safari 4 on a Mac.
No need for developer settings on an Android device: go to Parameters > Wi-Fi and Internet > Mobile network > Preferred network type. You can then select if you want to enable 4G, 3G or only 2G. This method has two drawbacks: You can't create your own network profile.
Using Network Link Conditioner Open up the system prefs on your computer. Click on Network Link Conditioner and click on/off to toggle it on, and the drop down to use presets. You can create your own with the Manage Profiles. Congrats, now you can enjoy slow internet.
Found the SpeedLimit preference tool mentioned in another SO answer. Works for me and is very unobtrusive to use (no application, no command line, no Java).
You're probably looking for traffic shaping, in MacOS X it's included in the kernel. Take a look at http://www.macgeekery.com/hacks/software/traffic_shaping_in_mac_os_x
