slow icloud back up

My iphone is set according to apples instruction for Icloud back up except it ran 1.5 days to backup 2g and never completed..I know my upload speed is only .25 mbits except for such a small clutch of data why is it failing to upload. (**)


Why is the icloud back up too long and incomplete?

Hello PhoneKfetch,


iCloud backups are heavily dependent upon the speed of your network. If you have a slower Wi-Fi connection, a backup may take a long time to complete or might not finish at all.


If a faster Wi-Fi network isn't always available for you, consider backing up to a computer: How to back up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iTunes on your PC - Apple Support.


Let us know if we can help with anything else at all or if this doesn't settle your issue so we can look into this further with you. Thanks and have a fabulous day!
