yes it does but you give the impression that you believe your wireless connection is 600mbits full stop and independent of wan restrictions and I wanted to make sure you understood where that 600mbit connection lies in your network, how the speed test operates and the limitations of hardware or routers on any given path.

As an example, you ran a speed test from your phone and the connection from your phone to the access point is 600mbits, the connection from the access point to the router is 1gbit, the wan connection running across VM's network is 200mbits and the link going from VM to the external hosted server is 10mbits, then that entire connection runs at the speed of the slowest link and the speed test result will come back at 10mbits.
