# 🐌 SLOoOoW

Systematic Lag Over... oh... Oh... oh... Wait.

A lightweight cross-platform Python wrapper for Linux (tc) and macOS (dnctl). This tool allows people to turn their fast connection into a Sanctuary of Lag 🧘.

Instead of rushing through the web, simulate Starlink jitters, 2G dropouts, or Satellite latency. We even included a theoretical fucking 6G preset for the speed addicts, though honestly, where is the fun in that? (fuck it!) Take a deep breath and enjoy the slowness.

SLOoOoW

Features

• Cross-Platform: Works on Linux (via tc + netem) and macOS (via dnctl + pfctl).
• Pre-configured Presets: Simulate real-world scenarios like GPRS, 4G, Starlink, or Dial-up.
• Chaos Engineering: Automatically injects realistic Jitter and Packet Loss based on the chosen technology.
• Custom Mode: Manually define your own bandwidth, delay, and loss parameters
• Safe Reset: Automatically restores full internet speed when the script exits (CTRL+C).
• Technology Groups: Organized by Cellular, Satellite, Wired, and Theoretical (6G) standards.

Presets Guide

Key	Preset Name	Speed	Latency	Jitter/Loss	Description
1	GPRS (1 Bar)	50 kbit	700ms	High	Extremely unstable rural connection.
2	2G (EDGE)	250 kbit	400ms	Med	Stable but very slow mobile data.
3	3G (HSPA)	3 mbit	150ms	Low	Basic mobile broadband.
4	4G (LTE)	20 mbit	50ms	None	Standard modern mobile speed.
5	5G (Low Latency)	100 mbit	10ms	None	Near perfect mobile connection.
s	Starlink (LEO)	150 mbit	40ms	Med	Fast but "jittery" due to satellite handovers.
l	Legacy Sat (GEO)	15 mbit	600ms	High	High latency space internet (e.g., Viasat).
w	Public Wi-Fi	2 mbit	100ms	Med	Congested coffee shop / hotel Wi-Fi.
d	Dial-up	56 kbit	200ms	None	Retro phone line connection.
6	6G (Theoretical)	1 Tbit	0.1ms	None	Removes all limits (Benchmark mode).

Disclaimer

This tool modifies your network interface settings.

• Do not run this on a production server unless you know what you are doing.
• If the script crashes or is killed forcefully, your internet might remain slow.
  • Linux Fix: sudo tc qdisc del dev <interface> root
  • Mac Fix: sudo dnctl -q flush && sudo pfctl -F all
