This also includes the not-as-ultrawide band that covers farther distances and penetrates obstacles more easily and isn't as fast. If you're contacted to the actually UW towers, you'll get speeds up to around 3 GB. And this connection is more stable with the antenna gate (the big plastic bar on the right of the phone) pointed at the tower with direct line of sight to it.

Wow, 3GB speeds? That’s nuts!

Yep! At that point, your actual download speed relies on the upload speeds of the data servers you're downloading from, for the most part.
