Last time I checked on my iPhone you needed a premium account.
Not sure about other phones but I have no reason to doubt that it's the same.

I seem to have an awful job running Spotify these days, it just plays 10 seconds then spends ages buffering. Makes listening tedious to say the least.
I have checked my speed with an online checker it is near 4meg. Is that not enough?
Can't say I've ever had any problems and my home connection is nothing special. I don't think it's ever stopped to buffer. It obviously has a substantial cache as it'll keep playing for ages after the network cable is unplugged!

just signed up to premium after using the open version for a month

I am now spending so much more time listening to music.. you can also have offline playlists on your iPhone so it has basically turned music into a utility for me.

Strongly recommend giving it a try guys.. 7 day free trial at the moment
