Edge is the older slower technology for accessing data over the mobile network. It provides average data speeds between 75-135Kbps. The latest 3G network uses HSDPA/UMTS technology (High Speed Downlink Packet Access/Universal Mobile Telephone System) and provides download speeds of 700 Kbps-1.7 Mbps So, in essence, you are getting something much closer to home broadband speeds over 3G.
