Connection problem when using my phone and laptop

Im hoping someone can help me out here. Last week I got a new phone the sony xperia xa ultra and since then when both my phone and laptop is using the wifi my latency jumps to over 3000ms and when I disconnect my phone and only use my laptop my latency goes back down to 40ms, I never had this problem when using my old phone.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi, Sounds like it could be a similar problem to this thread https://community.plus.net/t5/Broadband/just-moved-to-plus-net-and-now-terrible-speeds-and-high/td-p... . Likely your phone is set to backup to google and is saturating the upstream bandwidth.
