I would actually be interested to know if new Javascript, new functionality, things like the VE, etc. are routinely tested on slow connections. Is there anything like this in place?
I very much doubt it; however, thanks to ResourceLoader, the bandwidth is very rarely the bottleneck or even noticeable. The loading slowness comes mostly from poorly written extensions which load themselves with higher priority (ULS has this kind of problems, but I think they were since fixed) or poorly written or not RL-compatible default user scripts and gadgets (just about every single one, sadly).
