Not a simple answer, I'm afraid. 3g doesn't specify a data rate but the maximum possible is 14.4 Mbps. The current version of wi-fi (802.11g) at 54 Mbps is faster than 3g. Earlier versions of wi-fi can be slower, but 3g's data rate does vary depending on reception; in a moving vehicle it can drop to less than 1Mbps, in which case any version of wi-fi will beat it.
