Damn, so you think it's a problem with iOS? ...

not really...

One thing that I noticed with some S3LTE/S4 on latest Android patch is that they automatically swap from Wifi connection to a 4G or 3+G when the OS thinks that this link could be faster for streaming data hence it connects to the WiFi but as soon as the amount of data is getting large (and some technically issues with the Wifi Link might come into play e.g. unstable or low throuput connection) it drops it and wants to use 4G or HSDPA

I do not know enought about iOS though so one think you might want to try out is disable the data option over your 3G connect so that WiFi is enforced.

If the behavior does not change (menas it still disconnects on data rtansmission) it might indicate some compatibility issue. If it does, well Android does allow to prevent to autoswitch off of WiFi to 3G so there might be something similar within iOS
