Why is the uploading data to the icloud taking so long

Slow network speeds on iCloud Hi, I have issues with iCloud upload/download speeds. Whenever my iPhone is syncing something or I'm uploading/downloading something from iCloud.com, I get ~2Mbps of speed on average. I can confirm this is not my network issue. I have used Mega and Google and they both allow upload/download speeds of up to 100 Mbps (which is my network's limit). I was just going to upgrade my iCloud plan to allow more storage so I can use it as my main cloud drive, but it seems impossible due to speeds this bad. I can not wait hours for things to upload/download. Does someone else have this issue or is there some way I can resolve this? I have already signed up for a Google One plan and I'm planning to switch to Google Drive if this stays the same. It's not going to be as convenient as iCloud on iPhone but I can compromise that. Oh, and I'm from Pakistan. Just in case it's a server thing :D Thank you.

Software updates using mobile data even though set to wifi only Hi All. I recently started experiencing the strangest issue regarding my mobile data being used up. By system services - software updates. i have an iphone 13. twice in the last week this happened. in SA we pay a lot for mobile data and therefore I use it sparingly and only buy what I need. twice this week I bought 1gb and almost all of us was consumed by these software updates… my iphone is up to date in terms of the iOS. setting in mobile data is set to not use mobile data. Wifi assist, icloud drive and icloud backup all switched off at the bottom of mobile data. i can switch off every app except the system services. And when I go in there I can see software updates used 1gb of data but it is not telling what updated or how I can switch it off. please help! I don’t know what to do anymore. screenshots below. I reset the stats on monday morning after an update consumed 800mb sunday evening (while I was at home and at wifi..!!!!). Today it used 200mb while I was using an app which can be see below. is there anyway to stop this from happening?

The speed of uploading to the cloud depends on the size of the data you are uploading and the speed of your connection.

I recommend that you backup (encrypted backup) using your Mac (if you have one) as it is faster.
