Specifying connectivity

If the connectivity is not specified, by default you will get the Cable (5/1 Mbps, 28ms RTT) profile. The connectivity is specified as part of the location in the format:
location:browser.connectivity

For example:
Dulles_IE7.DSL
Frankfurt.Dial
China.custom
Dulles:Chrome.DSL

The supported profiles for the public instance are:
DSL - 1.5 Mbps down, 384 Kbps up, 50 ms first-hop RTT, 0% packet loss
Cable - 5 Mbps down, 1 Mbps up, 28ms first-hop RTT, 0% packet loss
FIOS - 20 Mbps down, 5 Mbps up, 4 ms first-hop RTT, 0% packet loss (not all locations will get the full bandwidth)
Dial - 49 Kbps down, 30 Kbps up, 120 ms first-hop RTT, 0% packet loss
3G - 1.6 Mbps down, 768 Kbps up, 300 ms first-hop RTT, 0% packet loss
3GFast - 1.6 Mbps down, 768 Kbps up, 150 ms first-hop RTT, 0% packet loss
Native - No synthetic traffic shaping applied
custom - Custom profile, bandwidth and latency must also be specified using the bwIn, bwOut, latency and plr parameters

When I put for example ec2-eu-west-1:Chrome.3G in the Location field, it still gives the default Cable speed. What am I doing wrong

I've just tried the following in the location field and they both work OK

ec2-eu-west-1:Chrome.3G - http://www.webpagetest.org/result/160704_RZ_Y1E/
ec2-eu-west-1:Chrome.2G - http://www.webpagetest.org/result/160704_6N_Y1G/

Do any of the other default values work (list below)?

.Cable
.DSL
.Dial
.3G
.3GFast
.3GSlow
.Edge
.2G
.Native
.custom
