It's not even necessary to go that far. If you have installed a T-1 and your CSU/DSU is configured for 1.544 Mbps, if the link is up then you are running at 1.544 Mbps!
If the line were being clocked at a different speed than that configured in your CSU/DSU, it would not function at all. File transfer speed isn't the best test to use here, although if your calculations show that you're using almost the full T-1 then I'm not sure what your concerns might be. If you have a T1 connection to a frame relay network then you have even more issues to deal with regarding transfer speeds between two points. However, my point remains. If you're only worried about the operational speed of the link, then it *has* to be running at the configured clockrate to function.
