Your upload speed is limited by 1) Your ISP upload bandwidth restrictions, and 2) the overall dynamic, performance of the Internet and devices between you and Apple's iCloud servers. There is nothing you can do to change either.


And iCloud is not a backup strategy for your photos either. Consider backing up your photos to at least one local, but external device.
