Why is my phone saying GPRS where the wireless network is supposed to be?

I use wifi whenever I can. But when I'm out of reach from a wifi spot, I turn it off. For some reason in my home when I turn the wifi off in my phone, it says GPRS. Before, it would say I have 4G network. GPRS is as slow as molasses and it's not helping me when I'm bored somewhere with no wifi. Why is that happening and is there a way to fix that?

iPhone 4S
