Notes

The Network Link Conditioner is a tool for developers that can change your Network speed on a system level, and has profiles like "EDGE", "3G" or "LTE" preinstalled.
This is also available as a node package.
#### Caveats
This is using applescript to get or set parameters of the conditioner. As a result, you will see the UI pop up on your screen - so no perfect solution. Reason is, that there is no internal API to change the settings.
You also have to allow the accessibility-setting in 🍎 >system preferences>security>Data security>Accessibility for the program executing this code. But normally you will be asked to do that the first time you execute a command.
#### Before using
To use this, you will need to do the following things:
1. Have a device/VM that runs MacOS
2. Have the Network Link Conditioner installed. Instructions can be found here.
