3G or 4G connectivity

Does anyone know if the 2015 C Class has 3G or 4G connectivity built in. There is very little information on line. I asked MB email support and the answer I got was " there is no official information at this time" That's a non answer and unacceptable. Clearly, this should be an easy question for MB to answer. Older 3G systems are very slow. I hope the new C Class has 4G built in.

According to my knowledge. The connectivity is bluetooth between your MB and phone so it depends on phone meanwhile even whatever speed you use , the command is a noticeable slow!!

The C Class has a built in cellular connection for mbrace2 and to use as a wifi hotspot. I've been trying to find out if it's 3G or 4G. Many new cars are starting to upgrade to 4G. MB email support just got back to me and apologized for the previous response they gave me. They now say it's a 3G connection. My dealer however has just told me it's a 4G connection. So I still don't have a good answer.

Looks like it is 4G LTE from AT&T according to this site: http://cars.reviewed.com/news/2015-m...ng-recognition

I've seen that article. It was published in January 2014. It's the only article I've been able to find on the subject. The original plan to have 4G LTE could have changed though. Originally there were articles saying the that 2015 C Class would get a 360 camera. Plans changed and that did not happen. Apple CarPlay was to be in the 2015 C Class. That has been delayed. I hope the same thing hasn't happened to the 4G plans. Audi is making a big deal about 4G in the new A3. Mercedes has been silent on the issue. You would think Mercedes would publicize 4G if it were available. There must be some document out there confirming it either way.
