Bands with a 300 baud rate limitation eliminated by this order are the 160 meter band; 80 meter band; 40 meter band segments 7.000–7.100 MHz and 7.100–7.125 MHz; 30 meter band; 20 meter band segment 14.00–14.15 MHz; 17 meter band segment 18.068–18.110 MHz; 15 meter band segment 21.0–21.2 MHz; and 12 meter band segment 24.89–24.93 MHz. The 10 meter band segment 28.0–28.3 MHz has a 1200 baud rate limitation, which is also lifted.

“Instead, the commission establishes a 2.8 kHz bandwidth limitation in the applicable amateur radio bands,” it said.

Bandwidth doesn't put a hard limit on bitrate either. It's one variable, but there's also SNR (See Shannon). With a fixed bandwidth, you can have low bitrate and excellent low-SNR performance (think of Olivia), or you can have higher bitrates, and require stronger signals. For practical purposes though, you are not going to get highspeed internet on HF. But that's what sharing is like. 🤷‍♂️
