Hi All
I have set both mine and my wife's phones to upload photos to Google only when on WIFI and only when charging. Every time i plug my phone in to charge the WIFI internet around the house suddenly stops for the duration of the upload (depending on how many photos are in the queue). My internet is through Optus and I have been with them ever since i remember.
Is this normal and has does it happen to you? And does that mean my Optus connection is crap or capped by them or something similar?
You're on ADSL, I'm guessing. The upstream channel is lower speed than downstream, so when you upload photos, it can delay other upstream traffic and requests for web pages are upstream. You might be able to use Quality of Service settings in your router to prevent uploads from hogging most of the upstream channel.
