Is that due to 5G itself, or the paucity of devices supporting it, hence lack of congestion?
It's due to the amount of bandwidth available on that band. The 3.5 GHz band is much wider than the others and the mmWave bands (not yet available in Canada) are much wider still.
Also, honest question for those more knowledgeable: does a doubling of frequency (i.e. 1700MHz to 3500MHz) equate to a doubling of bandwidth?
No, it's the amount of available bandwidth. The same bandwidth, on the different bands would provide similar results. Of course, the more users, the more it gets shared. Typically, the higher bands have more bandwidth than the lower ones.
