Cannot send images over wifi
I cannot send images via imessage or upload to the cloud on my wifi all of a sudden. any help?
I am currently using an ASUS Router. Same problem. I've swaped 3 modems on Altice / Optimum, same problem. I had a tech come out for $80 -- replaced the line to our media box in our basement (even though the modem levels were fine), same problem. Optimum Online has had almost 0 upload speeds at time for the last 10 days. It has gotten better, but I think they are choosing to block some upload traffic and sacrificing upload to icloud services. I have Verizon, with a Verizon repeater connected to the same router on Optimum Service in the house. If I turn off the wifi, and use the repeater, my icloud services work quickly and as intended (that is sometimes the only way send a photo or document in iMessages). The Verizon repeater uses IMO, a VPN tunnel to Verizon, so they cannot see the traffic on the Optimum side.
- I think that’s *exactly* what they’re doing. Of course they won’t admit it, but yeah there is something about the upload speeds to Apple endpoints that are abysmal. And not for everyone apparently. I talk to my neighbor 3 houses away and no issues. I’ve got 3 teenagers and of course they are consuming bandwidth as if it’s some god-given right. I have to believe that’s playing into it. Some sort of unpublished data cap, if I had to guess. Spent 10 hours or so on this already; the timeframes you mentioned line up perfectly to mine, and I’m now all but convinced that’s what’s happening.
