I don't know anything about LiFi, but for EM radiation in general, the higher the frequency, the higher the theoretical maximum bandwidth.

Wifi is 2.6 Ghz or 5Ghz, visible red light is 430 terahertz.

Or it sounds like LiFi is just pulsing the lights on an off, in which case the Nyquist Rate that was invented for telegrams is a better analogy
