Not sure about stuff like…

Please does anyone know why my computer's wifi broadband speed is reduced dramatically when my iphone is connected to it by a cable? Our wifi is rubbish at the best of times - fibre speeds of 18mbps instead of the promised 30 - but when I connect the iphone it reduces to between 2 and 5 mbps. I just wondered if anyone else…
