How can you tell if your on wifi or 3G?

At first it asks you if you would like ti connect to 3G, Wifi, or something else. Anyway, I connected to my home wifi, and played on it for a bit. Then I went to Log and went under Data, At the bottom it says Wifi, and my Wifi name, then on top of it, they all say GPRS, Fido browsing. Am I browsing on my wifi, or on the 3g network?

 

Many thanks.

Re: How can you tell if your on wifi or 3G?

On my blackberry smartphone, I will know when I am connected because the name of my SSID shows beside the word fido, then the WiFi icon in the corner has to be White (not grey) to indicate it is routing all network and blackberry traffic through my access point. If its still grey, the connection is going through EDGE/2G network still. And if it chagnes to the symbol UMA my voice calls are also being diverted and not using GSM they are going through my wifi gateway as well.

Any data I use will not come out of my data bucket, any voice call will not either but only because I subscribe to Fido WiFi Calling too
