This shows me it is a Broadcom BCM43XX 1.0 (7.5.166.24.3). I called Broadcom and found the maximum speed for this card is . . . 1.5 Mbps (yes one and a half mega bits per second, or 187,000 characters per second). It doesn't go faster because it cannot.
This is not correct. I don't know who you got in broadcom but since the earliest wifi .. ie b standard is 11Mbps and every standard since then has gone up in leaps and bounds the speed of the card in a 2014 MBP is at least dual stream AC.. which is 866Mbps that is link speed not actual throughput.
My ancient now (2011 MBP and Mini have identical wireless chips)
You have confused wireless chip with wireless firmware revision.

Any driver will likely show BCM43xx because it is the driver name.. simple as that.
They will be able to provide a replacement, 10X faster chip for about $50.
Apple use unique wireless cards.. so you cannot update to a new card or chipset.
Find the current link speed by holding down the option key and clicking the wireless icon in the top menu area.
This is using a later Mac with a standard broadcom AC card. All of later Macs are fitted with AC wireless cards.
Check the specs on all the 2014 Macs and I think you will be hard pressed to find a single one without AC wireless.

Certainly every single MBP has AC wireless.
