Little Details About Above Bands:
Better Coverage: 2300 MHz > 1800 MHz > 850 MHz
Better Speed: 850Mhz > 1800 MHz > 2300 MHz
Nowadays Band 40 is highly congested because usually mobile connect to this band. In peak time speed in this band drop to 0.5 Mbps - 0.3 Mbps.
Band 5 gives me better speed compared to band 40 and 3 because most of the time it's empty. you should try each band and check which band gives you better speed and coverage.
Use NetVelocity Enterprise app to check which band you're connected it's available on Play Store and Jio App Store.
