Just to post an update on my testing - after setting up the Nest quality to 360P or 720P instead of 1080P I am able to limit the bandwidth consumed upstream.

Furthermore, I can use QoS settings on my router to give a lower priority to the Nest cameras traffic.

With those changes, I have not seen issues anymore.

Sorry for the late reply.

My issue turned out to be a bad residential gateway from AT&T. DNS service kept flaking out. I put a router behind the residential gateway so that I can control the DNS assignments. I don't recall if I am back using 1080 or a lower resolution.

Glad that your Nestcam is working for you so far.
