Oops, I meant 3g. Managed to fat finger it into 2g!

3g hasn't shut down yet (iirc H+ is just rebranded 3g with a couple of perks), but Telstra has a fun little countdown page, similar to a Christmas countdown, where they tell you down to the second when they'll be crippling your old phones!

3G, H and H+ displayed on your phone is still just 3G. H+ is faster though.

It's just different standards of the same technology.
