With my phone it worked that way, or is the "old" model just not ready for this speed?
I would love to upgrade from 3G to 4G (Music will load much faster that way in Napster)

LTE is completely different hardware, frequencies, antennas, protocols, licensing.
The only reason switching your Sim would have worked on your old phone is the hardware already supported LTE.
Another thing to consider is alot of cell phone companies did a shitty thing about 4 years back by branding a mild upgrade to HSPA ( commonly known as 3G cellular ) as 4G. This was HSPA+. This is probably how your cell phone worked. Alot of phones started having HSPA+ capable phones before the networks had rolled it out which allowed people to "upgrade" with new sim cards. These same shitty companies called their LTE service 4G+ once it came out if you can believe it. Idiots.
LTE is completely different. Like FM vs Satellite Radio different. lol
