What other streaming services do you recommend besides Tidal?

Been having quite a few dropout issues with Tidal of late and no it is not my connection.
These were commonplace late last year, seemed to stop but of last few days have returned with a vengeance especially later at night (higher demand/usage I suppose?).
So as $20 a month is no joke for sporadic service and lack lustre customer service I would like to know who uses what other service for hires streaming?
Your experiences, problems if any, quality etc.
I know my Vault shows me at least 15 other options besides Tidal but I really know nothing of them.
Thank you

I tried Tidal, but I listen to a lot of Classical and find it’s interface unusable for that genre.  Apple has an easier interface than Spotify, the other service that I have tried, but they both deep catalogs.  I’m waiting for Quobuz.  
  I also tried a free month of Primephonic for Classical but it has a very limited catalog

Just for the record, Tidal is CD quality or better on all their music.
Deezer is CD (Flac) on all music.
Spotify, Apple, Pandora, Napster are all MP3

The files you are streaming on Tidal & Deezer are 5-10 times the size of the other services, not to mention that they sound vastly better.

Yea I did try the Spotify free service but sq was noticeably much worse than Tidal but I am on the $20 hifi Tidal subscription so no surprise.
Deezer looked like a good alternative, may wait for Quboz and then do a comparo.
At least Tidal appears to be streaming fine again for now after incoming line fix to get speed back up.

Still no issues so hopefully AT&T fixed it.
Sticking with Tidal for now

Like mahler mentioned, classical on Tidal is pretty slim pickens.
Though Spotify has lower sound quality, I still find myself using it.
Hopefully, Quobuz will offer an alternative.
