You didn't say if you used WiFi or not for Internet, but I'm guessing you are .. and that if you used Ethernet you wouldn't see a problem.

Both Bluetooth and WiFi can use the same 2.4 gig radio frequencies. Normally they don't interfere with each other, but it sounds like you're having a bad day. Turning both Bluetooth and WiFi off/on on your Mac would be my first step.

Second step would be to try switching to a 5 gig WiFi signal (if you have one available) since the radio signals of Bluetooth and 5-gig WiFi don't overlap.

And/or maybe one of the suggestions from Apple will help: Resolve Wi-Fi and Bluetooth issues caused by wireless interference
