No. You are dealing with one device and no intermediate device to buffer the transmission rates. Transmission rate is negotiated to the fastest rate that both ends support.
Both ends are transmitting at that same rate, and are busy for the same amount of time. In contrast, say you were downloading over the internet through several devices. The source could send the file at full speed, but is buffered by a device in the middle. It is relaying the data at a slower rate over a slower link to you.
