Throttling the Internet

This is very useful for seeing how a user will experience your site or web application.
Found out you can do this in Fiddler (http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/).

To enable this you

1. Click 'Rules'
2. Click 'Performance'
3. Enable 'Simulate Modem speeds'
   

What this does will download a KB of data and add a delay of 150ms by default. This downloads 10KB of every 1.5 seconds.

You can adjust this. If you want 100KB downloaded every second you need to change this delay setting to 10ms.

To adjust this:

1. Click 'Rules'
2. Click 'Customize Rules'

This will allow you to adjust the settings. NOTE: You can change all of fiddler's settings in the that opens, so save a backup of this. Click "Save As", close and reopen.

Find "if (m_SimulateModem)" in this file. The first occurrence will be for the upload delay, the second for the download delay. Changing the second to 'oSession["response-trickle-delay"] = "10"; '. This will deliver approximate speed of 100KB/sec.

Thought this would help.
