Is iCloud syncing generally very slow?

I upgraded to the 2 TB plan and am syncing the Photos from my Mac photos library now. I wonder why the upload from Photos on my Mac to iCloud is so slow. It will take a week at this rate. Netspeed says my upload speed is 882 Mbps. https://www.speedtest.net/my-result/d/249028519 but iCloud reports only 10,000 of 47,000 items uploaded after almost a day.

Pause library uploads to iCloud

When you turn on iCloud Photos, the time it takes for your photos and videos to upload to iCloud depends on the size of your collection and your Internet speed. If you have a large collection of photos and videos, your upload might take more time than usual. You can see the status and pause the upload for one day.

  • On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos. You can also open the Photos app, go to the Photos tab, and scroll to the bottom of your screen.
  • On your Mac, open the Photos app. Select Photos in the sidebar, then click All Photos in the list of tabs in the toolbar. Scroll to the bottom of your photos and click Pause.
