Radio listening booms while music streaming stalls

I wonder if it could also be due to the fact that Internet usage has increased, which lowers available bandwidth—maybe as a consequence, streaming quality isn't as consistent.

I haven't had any issue with Spotify so far. Granted: I personally have a good connection and live in a relatively well developed country.

The bandwidth required for audio is tiny compared to most of the other things we do on the internet.
