I don’t know whether it’s the software in general, but ever since I’ve started using Three 4G broadband in the UK; all of the software started behaving really weirdly (lots of lockups, hangs, etc). Apps often need to be restarted.

If you do a ping during “bad weather”, you can see that they buffer up to 5 minutes of packets (i.e. there will be no communication for some time, then you’ll receive a bunch of them with a huge latency with sequences intact).

So I would assume a lot of software could even work that way. I think a lot of software don’t set any (TCP) timeouts at all.
