Hi Ibrahim

So for someone say just going online on their mobile to do something like 
update Twitter or check the news or sports results, would 2G be slow enough to 
cause frustration? I know that depends on the person's patience, but I am sure 
you know what I mean.#

  Hi Barbra.

  Firstly, 3g is only going to speed up internet, it has nothing what ever to 
do with text messaging.  GPRS or general packet radio system has been a basic 
source of internet access for quite some time now and can only deliver speeds 
similar to those of dialup internet access.  Whilst this may be adequate for 
emailing and basic web browsing, 3g offers speeds up to 384 KBPS, meaning that 
audio and video streaming becomes possible as well as much faster and richer 
internet surfing.

  All the best, Ibrahim.

    Hi Alex

    Yes, that's what I understand, but I was wondering how much faster? I am 
sure someone will have the answer.

      Babs, I'm no expert on this subject, but my understanding is that 3g is 
faster for surfing the net, sending text messages etc. I don't relly know any 
more than that.

      Cheers

      Hi

       

      I know it is difficult to give specifics, but I just wanted some general 
feedback. Using Vodafone and I know this depends on network coverage, signal 
strength etc, but what is the difference between 3G and 2G speeds? If browsing 
the mobile Web, would 2G be very much slower for downloading webpages and 
content?

       

      Thanks.
