Could smartphones be the problem for our internet messing up?

My family and I recently got 4 smartphones with not much data to share through Verizon. Because of the limited data usage, we turn on WiFi on our phones at our home. Which adds 4 devices to our internet. Plus we've got a tablet which went along with the plan. So we pretty much are adding 5 devices, if this makes sense. We already had about 4-5 computers, 3 ipods, and 2 tablets connected to the internet. Ever since we added the 4 smartphones, our internet has been everywhere. Sometimes it will work for the laptops, sometimes it will work for the iPods, etc. Could this be because we added the 4 smartphones? I have had Time Warner Cable for a long time and it has never done this before. If adding the phones is the problem, then what is the maximum number of devices that can be connected to the internet at once? Could the actual phones be the problem?

or:Typically wifi can handle 6 devices. Shut some down and test it out ;)
