If an HST does slow down due to a poor connection it will not let you
know.  You may notice a slower transfer rate if there is a poor connection.
The only other way to see the speed change is to type +++, and then type
ATI6 which will print a link diagonistics screen.  This will show the
current connect rate at that time.  Since the connection rate is mostly
at 14.4K, you will seldom see anything else.
