ROFL, enchanted data rates! I love it

I thought that "2G" the was original slow GSM packet data at <56kbit/s. "2.5G" (or GPRS) was the original enhanced data rate of 56-115kbit/s and the first upgrade step from the original system towards "3G". This was, I thought, followed by "2.75G" or EDGE which used new and more efficient data coding and achieved rates up to 3x that of "2.5G" (up to 230-ish kbit/s)

Or do I have that wrong?
