Another simple question from a new Galaxy Y user:

GPRS - EDGE - UMTS: what are the different speeds etc?

I can get EDGE and GPRS depending on where I am, Not yet seen UMTS.

 

This forum has been a GREAT help with my new phone, Thanks.

OK, thanks that's very helpful.

One reply suggested turning off 3g on my phone as this will help speed up 2g, if I read it right. Is that the case?

You won't get 2G any faster but you will get a better signal on 2G if you are in a weak 3G area.
