Often slow Spotify app, not loading, unresponsive web player?
Quick answer
Should you have a backup 4G, 5G, Starlink, or cable internet connection?
Yes — every internet connection goes down, including Starlink, which drops for ~34 minutes a day on average. A backup connection from a different provider means one outage never takes you fully offline. The most common options are a 4G/5G cellular hotspot, a cable or DSL line, or a second satellite dish.
4G/5G cellular
Works anywhere. Just a SIM or hotspot — no installation needed.

Speedify Feature · Pair & Share
Speedify Pair & Share: share cellular between your devices, both ways
Most hotspots give. Speedify's Pair & Share gives and takes. Two devices running Speedify pair up and each uses the other's cellular connection simultaneously, so you both get faster uploads, faster downloads, and a steadier connection. No extra hardware, no new data plans, no setup beyond a tap.

Always private

Why is Spotify so slow
The real issue with slow Spotify streaming is not Spotify. The true culprit is your device. Mobile devices are designed to only use one internet connection at a time. You are either connected via Wi-Fi or you are connected via mobile data connection. Mobile devices are also not designed to easily move between different Wi-Fi networks and can’t handle signal fluctuations very well.
All of these mobile device issues create a data traffic jam. There is not enough bandwidth available to handle all of the data Spotify needs to deliver a smooth, uninterrupted flow of music. Buffering is like you sitting in your car on a crowded freeway, where it’s not your car’s fault.
Do you often check to see if Spotify is down from your mobile device? Do searches take a long time? Are you spending too much time downloading songs for offline use? Read below for an easy and quick fix to all that.
3 Steps to Fix Spotify Streaming
Speedify solves this problem for iOS and Android devices in three simple steps:
- Download the Speedify App from the AppStore or Google Play.
- Open the app and complete the easy setup
- Leave Speedify running in the background while you listen to Spotify
It’s that easy. When you are using Speedify, Spotify, and any other internet dependent apps, will run faster and with fewer interruptions.
How Speedify Improves Your Spotify Speed
Speedify changes the way your mobile device connects to the Internet. Instead of just using one connection, Speedify allows your device to connect to the internet with both Wi-Fi and mobile data connection at the same time. This instantly improves your bandwidth and gives you a better quality listening experience.
Speedify also monitors the quality of your different connections. When it detects a signal is weak or that the network is too slow, it automatically reroutes data to through the best remaining network. This is called auto failover. See here an example of how it helps people streaming video.
When Speedify detects that the other connection is back online and reliable, it begins using it again. You never have to do anything. All of this happens automatically in the background while you enjoy Spotify.
The Hidden Benefits of Speedify
Speedify does much more than just deliver a faster Internet experience to your mobile device. It was designed to have zero impact on your battery life. It also is smart enough to try and send as much data as possible through Wi-Fi instead of over more expensive mobile data connections.
Speedify is also a VPN for mobility. It uses cutting-edge technology to quickly encrypt all the data sent to and from your device. Speedify keeps you safe from compromised Wi-Fi networks, snooping ISPs, and other threats.
When you use the Speedify App you are getting the best speed, security, and reliability possible on your mobile device.
