I had to back away from the subthread when you tried to claim
that your mobile was actively blocking your wireless.

It might be using some of the bawidth though
an 802.11g router only gives 54Mbps max, or 6.75MB shared between all the wireless devices, so if you've 10MB coming in and the phone steals some then your laptop will get less.
If you don't move around much wired is better than wireless, especially for video streaming .

Yes, I did say that.
Which is when he countered with "I thought wireless devices block wireless router signals."

At that point I realised I'd been defeated by a superior intellect and bowed out.

Is he wrapping it in tinfoil and putting it next to the router??
