I went through the barajas bugs, but can't find a clear dup. John, could
you attach a bug number?

The only situation when the Technology and the Bearer properties differ
is when the mobile broadband connection speed is limited by the operator
to be _lower_ than the cellular networks normal technology; voice might
go through 3G but mobile data is limited to 2G. So the user gets a lower
internet connection speed than actually reported by the indicator.

Then on the other hand, even though if the user has an actual 3G or even
4G mobile broadband connection the actual data transfer speeds sometimes
drop to the equivalent levels of 2G connections depending on the loads
on the carrier network, so the whole icon is more or less a hint of the
ideal connection speeds you _might_ get. Sadly for the customers there
are no  definitive requirements for the carriers on minimum throughput.

Anyway, that is a real bug, but there should be no "surprises" for the
user in terms of billing. Hence Medium.
