3gs Internet Speeds and question

Hi Guys, this is my first Iphone, so excuse the questions, I have tried searching Google, but could find no real answer.

In relation to the internet access, in which order are the speeds from quickest to slowest?

Wifi i'm sure is first,

But then there's 3g, Edge, and also a 0 icon.




Also, i was in the gym last night, and I only had the 0 Icon, on the screen it wouldn't allow me to access youtube, and mentioned something about setting up "Cellular access" or something.

Does this cost to use internet access via this Cellular access?

Thanks

Wifi - 3G - Edge - WAP

The 3G is faster on the 3Gs than it is on the 3G iphone.

0 icon will just be plain old WAP, this is free on your contract (iPhone contract).

Re: 3gs Internet Speeds and question

O is GPRS strictly speaking. Its basically data with no special enhancements over telephone signals. Very very slow. You cant do much browsing on it, and certainly no streaming on it, but things like Twitter clients work well.

Re: 3gs Internet Speeds and question

And finally, do these all fall into the "Free Data" on the 02 network?


Thanks to all for your assistance.

Yep. Data is data regardless of the speeds being used
