    How to simulate Modem Connection Speed?

    I want to know how a page loads for 56k Modem Users (I'm on DSL though)

    Any ideas? How can virtually reduce my connection speed?

      If I recall frontpage and a couple other WYSIWYG editors have a tab setting that will let you know the download times at various connection speeds.

          Not easily. The best way is to just ask a friend with 56k.

          You could split up your connection till its knocked down to around 56k but.. thats not entirely simple.

              56k6 users download with 3-6kb/s. Do the calculation yourself.

                      Not looking for the download time. I'm interested to see how a page with streaming media loads for a modem user ..

                              Don't annoy 56k6 surfers with streaming media. I was on dialup for a month just two weeks ago because my DSL was fooked, and all those flash/wmv embedded/overused .gif pages just bugged the crap out of me.

                              A webbrowser loads a page from top to bottom btw.

                                  the easiest way is to use a proxy IMO
                                  One that will slow down your connection to a crawl ;)

                                          For so many years I've thought that it loaded it in a clock-wise circle

                                                  homesite has a feature called "document weight" it will tell you the time it takes to download a site in all forms of connections speeds
