Spotify is extremely slow to sync offline playlists on iOS

My router doesn't even support B.

What do you mean?

It is fairly slow for me but I am a new user so not quite sure how fast it is 'meant' to be?  Can anyone advise?

[redcarpet26]

syncing should be almost as fast as downloading a song off itunes.

That's what I thought - it's definitely not syncing that quickly.

iPhone 5, have changed the proxy as suggested previously here, but doesn't seem quicker.

Quite annoying having to spend almost an entire night trying to sync not many songs, I can only imagine how long I'd be if I tried to sync my whole library...probably until about this time next year.

Don't suppose there has been an official answer to this problem yet? I've got the latest iOS on ipod touch, its been about 30 minutes to sync 4 songs.

Nope. There was a "we are aware of the situation" post, but that was almost 2 months ago. This has been going on since the iPhone 5 was realeased.
