"Jammed" is a inaccurate way of describing the status of the Bitcoin network. Transactions are included in blocks in an auction system, where people bid for the limited amount of blockchain space available. If your bid is high enough, your transaction is included immediately. There have always been far more people who want to get transactions mined than there is blockchain space. You can find gigabytes of valid transactions that people have broadcast for various reasons, including deliberate DoS attacks, and extremely low-value applications like inefficient timestamping protocols. Any website that makes claims like the mempool is "100MB" is simply incorrect. The supply of space fluctuates randomly, as block creation is a poisson process, and demand fluctuates for other reasons. So if you have a lower bit you might get lucky in the future. But that's no different than the prices of any good subject to natural supply and demand fluctuations.
