So, most people access internet by 3G?

Right speed around 10mbps if you have 4G phone. With expected digital roll out of tv..it will free up more frequencies for use by 4G. I think safaricom are using 800MHZ spectrum.

Most people access internet via 2G. Safaricom simcard technology is GSM and is naturally 2G.

2G GSM networks are slow and have a maximum data speed of a couple hundred kb/s

To know which connection is active, open the browser of your cell phone and attempt to access a website. Look at the indication bar, which is usually at the top of the phone's screen, that shows you the cellular signal. If it states 3G, then you know you have a 3G phone.

My blackberry gives me an option to manually switch from 3G to 2G nikiwa mashinani.
