LTE?

Hello,
I recently picked up my new GLS 450 and I noticed that the Wi-Fi feature is now much faster than the infamously slow system MB put in previous cars. I traded in a car that had a hotspot as well and trying to use that feature seemed worse than dial up. I did a speed test on my phone (connected to it) and it is getting similar speeds to the phone itself. Also, the mBrace works much faster now. Is it possible they upgraded it to LTE?
