ICTP Digital Divide Simulator:

We have elaborated an on-line simulator with which you can experience browsing the web with low bandwidth and compare it with the bandwidth you are used to. To make use of it select the website you want to test, then select the bandwidth you want to simulate, and click “simulate”. You will be presented with two pages: one at full speed and one at the limited speed. You can then compare the two.”
