The low signal test is really interesting. Going on a hike and not turning on airplane mode can be disastrous for battery life.

I would take stability over bandwidth (within reason) any time. I have no need for a 1Gbit down, as long as I have a decent Adblocker installed.

That said, I've noticed my iPhone 15 switching to satellite mode and sticking to it for longer, even though I'm back in a place with reception. I now have to manually cycle Airplane mode to get it to pick up the network.
