Average amateur musicians love to make music with other people, but it is really hard to do as the whole thing involves getting together physically, practicing a lot to be decent together as a band, etc

While there has been quite a few attempts at online music collaboration, clearly the average amateur musician is not using any of them.

PROs use pro-music software to collaborate with other people, and some tech-oriented amateurs hang out in collaboration forums.

But all that is too hard/annoying for the average amateur musician.

BandHub "The Internet Music Studio" - makes it easy to make music with other people over the Internet.

There seems to be a problem in streaming. I have a 16MBPS connection but the files needed to stream every second, freezing the audio and video.

It's not real time. It's based on overdubs - i.e., you record tracks over previously recorded tracks. You can even start with any YouTube video as a base (e.g., original song you are covering, click track, karaoke type youtube video, or a dude playing guitar+singing that you want to add bass too).
