Years ago, there were many websites that offered this feature.
I'm sure some still exist.

Or...a 56K modem :). I think many ISP's probably offer that as a backup service. Or they did many years ago.
Or you can find a service that offers this. I set my sister up on a 56K modem last year, I think she's paying about $4 a month for service.

He/she is not looking to test the speed of their connection.
Will the router provide the speed (ms, seconds, minutes, hours, days) of loading web pages at a specific baud level?

Odd as it may seem today, many folks in rural areas are still using 56k.
Others in rural areas are fortunate to have a-bit-larger providers that offer ADSL (utilizing two phone lines and two modems) to get a blazing 128k.
Others are use dishes and the various providers. A bit pricey.

The point is to be able to view your site as if you were on a dial up or slower connection. To test for performance, load time, etc. I know that alot of people are on broadband but also alot of people in rural areas are getting online with dial up, satellite and cell hotspots (all of which are slower)
I found several tools.
Firefox and IE Throttle
