Does WiFi 7 REALLY make your Internet Faster?

no

A Lan cable is superior to any wifi,sorry a bit off topic

Where is the bottleneck...generally.....when downloading? 

 

It crossed my mind that we are sold faster and faster speeds, but can the servers we connect to transfer data at those speeds??

Yes, of course.

Yes, we are sold faster and faster speeds, but that does not guarantee we get that max speed always.

Here they explain some factors regarding your question. I hope it is of some use.

What's the difference between Internet Speed and Bandwidth. Which affect the most please?

Internet speed is the rate at which data is transferred, while bandwidth is the maximum amount of data that can be sent over the internet at any given time:
 

Internet speed
The speed at which data is transferred between a user's device and the internet. It's measured in megabits per second (Mbps) or gigabits per second (Gbps).
Bandwidth
The maximum amount of data that can be transmitted over an internet connection in a given amount of time. It's measured in gigahertz (GHz) or bits per second (Bps). 
Bandwidth is like the width of a highway, while speed is like the speed limit. The wider the highway, the more traffic it can handle. Similarly, a wider bandwidth means more data can be transmitted at once.

 

Which affect the most please? - Both will effect the speed. Example, for HD video, gaming, etc you will need a higher bandwidth.

 

Other than on a leased line, most internet connections are shared between users. Hence the reduction of speed during peak hours.

Good insight.

Most servers can't and won't deliver unlimited speeds. You are not alone on the net so load balancing limits.

The fastest ever seen was about 800 Mbit/s for an installation media download from Microsoft. Obviously mirrored/cached in Thailand.

Fast Downloads that I see are about 300 Mbit/s.

For most interactive use like streaming/video watching speeds above 50 are irrelevant anyway.

In addition to having the stable bandwidth coming in both the router and the connected device (computer, tablet or phone) must also be WiFi 7 capable to get the full benefits... I would say it's not worth the extra effort...
