Help/info on In Car MBrace "Stuff"

So... Like most, I don't want to pay for crappy internet speeds in the car, but wasn't the full access to services. My car will include 5 years of the basics, remote start, unlock, etc., so I'm sure it's not worth paying for the $15+/month entertainment pack... Unless I'm missing something???

Traffic isn't delivered this way, and if so, couldn't I tether to my phone???

I'm confused as to the value of each....

Anyone?

I hear it's also slow as "f" even though it's 4G....

I was wondering the same thing... Is it worth it to sign up for the Mbrace? We just got a GLS and we are still trying to figure out all of the features.

I am wondering why the Mbrace in the US is working so bad. I have COMAND and can use all the services for 3 years. It had some glitches in the start period. But now it's working fine. The only thing that is strange is that for internet you need to use your own phone instead of the cars internet connection. But I must admit I only use the internet to download stored POI's and sometimes to look up a charging station.
