[Definition: 3G

3G service is high-speed access to data and voice services, made possible by the use of a 3G network. A 3G network is a high-speed mobile broadband network, offering data speeds of at least 144 kilobits per second (Kbps).

For comparison, a dial-up Internet connection on a computer typically offers speeds of about 56 Kbps. If you've ever sat and waited for a Web page to download over a dial-up connection, you know how slow that is.

3G networks can offer speeds of 3.1 megabits per second (Mbps) or more; that's on par with speeds offered by cable modems. In day-to-day use, the actual speed of the 3G network will vary. Factors such as signal strength, your location, and network traffic all come into play.
Also Known As: third-generation service

Keep in mind that 3G is not activated everywhere yet.
Even here in the city, hubby occasionally has 3G failure on his computer from work. We could not access it upNorth at all.
Everything defaulted to 2G there.

Hi Jo:

Go to the diabetic forum. I just posted a question about UTI's and I need lots of input.

Thanks to anyone who can respond.

Take care,

Melody
