Has anyone upgraded from a lower-tier iCloud Drive plan to the 2TB option and noticed that upload speeds are faster? Or just the same as those of the lower plans?

We all know uploading to iCloud Drive can be incredibly slow, even on a robust Broadband connection, but I'm wondering whether Apple prioritizes those who have the 2TB plan over those with lower-storage plans.

Note: I know very little about networking, so I don't even know whether prioritizing the upload speeds of the various plans would even be possible. So please forgive me if I've asked a stupid question 😅

Regarding speed: for the last 2 years or so iCloud Drive has been absolutely great. No hiccups, stable and things are there instantly - so have gone for the 2TB tier. Dropped Dropbox a while back and haven't looked back :cool:

One thing I would like: uploading documents that aren't force synced to my Macs (deselect specific folders in iCloud settings).
