What does GPRS mean on my iPhone?

So sometimes when I'm out and about, instead of 4G i have the letters GPRS at the top of my iPhone. Its super fast, 9000x faster than 100G. By the way that was sarcasm. Its pretty slow, slower than an elderly tortoise going up a hill. What is this cuz of how slow it is it dosent seem like a proper internet connection to me… What does it mean?

2g data

It's the data connection that goes along with a "2G" mobile service.

It's quite common around here away from cities, where the phone companies can't be bothered to upgrade old gear to 3G or better.

The internet connection speed is up to roughly 56K or so, about the same as an old dial-up telephone modem.

It is 2G, 1000x slower than 4G.
