Nice! Does anyone know whether something like this exists on Windows?

I like "clumsy", which has a perfect animated GIF showing the app:

Since nearly every Windows web dev has Fiddler2, it can simulate network latency: http://helephant.com/2012/07/11/simulating-network-latency-w...

I believe Fiddler handles this? Not very friendly to change, but it's documented here http://docs.telerik.com/fiddler/KnowledgeBase/FiddlerScript/...

Fiddler or Network Emulator for Windows Toolkit perhaps. I'm sure there are other options though.

There is crapify [1]. I remember seeing other tools as well, but can't find them at the moment.

Google Chrome Canary has network throttling functionality.

As does plain Google Chrome, at least on OSX. Open Dev Tools and click the 2nd icon on top, next to the loupe, which looks like a mobile phone. From there you can specify a set of throttling speeds (offline, gprs, edge, 3G, DSL, Wifi)
