Follow the instructions here to configure your internet/APN settings correctly:
http://community.48months.ie/t5/Need-Help/Internet/m-p/34493#M12560
A roaming "R" on the signal bars is not unusual because 48 is a virtual network (MVNO) operating on the Three network.
Some phones have an Enable National Data Roaming option to get rid of it.
If you don't have that then just ignore it as it doesn't indicate any problem and doesn't incur any additional costs etc.
Why do you think that you're getting 2G?
What does it say in Settings > About phone > Status (or similar) about your data connection type?
What does a speed test give?

Hope this helps.
