i always hear them saying we are the fastest 3g network, but i don’t understand what 3g is
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) defined the third generation (3G) of mobile telephony standards – IMT-2000 – to facilitate growth, increase bandwidth, and support more diverse applications. For example, GSM (the current most popular cellular phone standard) could deliver not only voice, but also circuit-switched data at download speeds up to 14.4 kbps. But to support mobile multimedia applications, 3G had to deliver packet-switched data with better spectral efficiency, at far greater speeds.[

The 3g network for instance is supposed to have a maximum of 384 KBps but we usually get less than 1/3 that speed, sometimes worse than dial up.
The 3G signal in the area I am in is very strong (with full bars in fact).
3G is pretty location dependent much like phone signal. It may say full strength but it may not be despite that. I’d try in other places & see if its improves or not
