Both. It's not a either or scenario. AGPS is real GPS, but uses the cell towers to get a quick fix on the location so it knows which satellites to lock on to vs having to scan for every known satellite. If the cell signal is not available it'll attempt to use the cached sat data to get a lock or do it the old fashion way and you'll have to wait 10+ minutes for a fix.
