"On the tube. Tried browsing headlines but no signal. No content showed up, not even yesterday's."

Sunday evening, 5.30pm
"Checking cricket news.
Pretty good, catching up on updates on the live blog.
Was checking scores on the train on the way home too, sporadically.
Slow to load sometimes."

"Reading the news while on the bus. Images took too long to load - gave up halfway."

- Pauline

On the bus



Sunday afternoon, 2.10pm
"Browsing the 'Comment is Free' section to check out current discussion topics.
The comment topic shows up, but when clicked, links to a completely different story from the Lifestyle section about the world's top 10 beaches? Sunday glitch in the matrix...
Can't seem to access the story I want, so decided to go to the 'Culture' section instead. Stories here turned up fine.
I like being able to catch up on older stories (downloaded from previous days) which I didn't have time to read earlier this week."

"Still in the caravan, just woke up. Browsing around, want to read Mariella's column.
Found it easily. Changed my mind - she's annoying."

- Marianne

Saturday morning, 8.24am
"Checking Twitter, and clicked on an m.guardian link.
I'd previously downloaded some content for offline reading, but since I could still receive a signal, I clicked on the link."

Found it, then decided I couldn't be bothered to read the whole article."

Friday evening, 5.40pm
"Browsing stuff. Read an article about a list of Swansea eateries, then wanted to do the latest crossword. LOTS of issues with loading time. Each time I entered a letter, I had to wait for the page to reload.
I gave up halfway."

- Pauline

Waiting for a friend


Friday afternoon, 12.30pm

"Waiting for a friend to turn up for lunch. Browsing the day's news headlines.
The restaurant is below street level, and might be contributing to the poor signal. Articles loading very slowly. Gave up halfway."

- Deana

At the restaurant


Thursday morning, 9.25am
"Browsing stories to kill some in-stransit waiting time.
I like how the 'Tags' feature - it's a good way of browsing for articles topically."
- Elizabeth

Thursday evening, 8.30pm
"Catching up on the day's cricket news.
It's taking a while to load.
Also, it's kind of annoying to have to scroll down to the end of the cricket live blog at the end of the day's play. I just want to see the final result!"
- Tom



At the cafe


Thursday afternoon, 4.20pm
"Looking at the 'UK in Pictures' section. The amount of time it takes to ‘fetch galleries’ continues to be discouraging – I gave up before any gallery could be loaded.Not an app I’d bother to use to access quick info while strolling."
- Elizabeth

Walking


Thursday afternoon, 1.15pm
"Having lunch by the docks near my office.
Remembered seeing an article on the Guardian website on my desktop earlier, and want to read more of it over lunch.
Same loading issues - plus it's even more difficult to read in daylight!
Lost interest in the article halfway, and try to search for Charlie Brooker's latest article. Annoyed at how many pages I had to get through to find it.
Read around a bit more before deciding I was better off reading the article at my desk."
