3G and wifi cannot be compared...
- 3G will use more power, its a cellular link where the tower can be a few miles away as opposed to wifi where the router is only a few feet away
- 3G speed is around 7.5 Mb/s but thats the best case. Weather, buildings, landscape will affect your bandwith...
- Wifi speed is dependent on your ISP bandwith... A 7.5 Mb/s plan will often be at the maximum speed all the time
