It definately does. I tried that and well...

70.8 megabits per second

Your raw speed was 70802285.71 bits per second which is the same as:

Communications

70.8 megabits per second
How communication devices are rated. Kilo means 1,000 and mega means 1,000,000. Examples include 56k modem and 10Mbit Ethernet

Storage

8.4 megabytes per second
The way data is measured on your hard drive and how file sharing and FTP programs measure transfer speeds. Kilo is 1,024 and mega is 1,048,576.

1MB file download

0.1 seconds
The time it would take you to download a 1 megabyte file at this speed.
