The T5 GF wifi was giving about 1.5mbit/s download speed today.

The pressreader app is also both slow and buggy - for example showing a “waiting for delivery” spinner while also showing a download progressing and finishing. I had to close and restart it to get the user interface working again.

I tried to fetch half a dozen magazines and newspapers but only one had downloaded in the 40minutes or so I spent in the lounge. This is all a nice idea but unless the app works and the wifi in the lounge is fast enough, it’s not usable.

I have a paper copy of the FT to read.
