Is there a limit to wireless connection speed? (Internet)

With all the recent posts about increasing data speeds, such as:
the 5G coming in S. Korea and and the proposed deal between the UK and Germany, as well as the new 800Gigs/sec cables Intel is making soon - I was wondering what limits are on wireless connection speeds.
Thanks in advance.

Technically the limits are...

1. The frequency of the transmission, which partly determines the data rate.
2. The energy requirements of said frequency to broadcast it over any distance (the higher the frequency the more energy required to broadcast it over distance).
3. The ability of the recipient to receive and process the data
4. The error correction algorithms managing to correct any errors in the data to product a stable data stream.

If those obstacles can be overcome theres no reason why you can't increase the data rate again and again.
