Ring slows down rest of the WiFi

Hi, Our internet service is poor as we average an upload speed of about 1.25Mpbs. We have recently purchased a Ring Indoor Cam and I understand that they require atleast 2Mbs of upload speed to work effectively. Whenever we do access the live feed from the app, the rest of our internet significantly slows down (the download speed). Is this because of our upload speed being slower than recommended? Thanks
