YMMV.
Actually, the term "bandwidth" is rarely accurate for networking, since what most people really want to know is the data transfer rate, not the actual raw bits-per-second. Bandwidth is the physical upper limit on the transmission mechanisms, but data transfer rate varies with the network equipment, media conditions, and routing. Higher bandwidth generally equates to higher data transfer, but the actual relationship depends on how data is packaged, including the modulation techniques used.
In mobile devices this can vary considerably, since the primary networking channesl are radio based, via the phone systems and/or WiFi (and/or Bluetooth). These are systems which adjust their bandwidth based on the strength and noise levels of their underlying radio signals.
The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.
