Something is really slowing down my desktop's DSL connection, so that browsing times out or is really slow to connect to sites on my desktop computer. I have a DSL2 connection with 15Mb down and 1Mb up. I have called my ISP and they can see that my upload is maxing out when I am experiencing the problem.
The problem is uploads and maybe downloads from my phone. If I turn off the Wifi on my GS4 the ISP instantly sees the upload speed from my modem to the ISP drop down to normal.
I use both dropbox and google+ to store my phone's camera's pictures and videos and it is automatically uploading as soon as it logs into my wifi when I get home.
Questions:
1) is there a good bandwidth monitor to see how fast and how much data, AND which apps are doing the data transfer, --- in real time, while this is happening.
2) is there a way to throttle google+ and dropbox so that they are not using all the bandwidth? If I take a 5min video on the phone and it make a 500M file it can clog up the upload for an hour. I could live with it taking 2 hours if it was running at half the upload speed and using half the upload bandwidth leaving me a little capacity to browse - Yes, I know browsing is downloading but there is an upload component to it that makes it really slow or not even possible when all the capacity is being used by something else.
Anybody else having this problem? What is the solution?
