And if you are on OS X (and have Xcode installed), look into Developer->Applications->Utilities->Network Link Conditioner.

If you are in the UK you can simply choose Virgin as your broadband provider to achieve the same effect.
Or talktalk, I don't even get cable out here in the country...
Or if you’re on any OS with Java installed, try Sloppy: http://www.dallaway.com/sloppy/
I second Sloppy. I've found it very useful for debugging Flash errors that only happen occasionally. By slowing the loading sometimes them become reproducible. It's also useful to see how a webpage loads on a slow connection - for example: is your copy legible before your background image has loaded?
Thanks! I didn't even realize that was there.
