iCloud restore is slow

[Gobrown75]

Just got my 6 this morning. I'm restoring my phone from icloud backup and it is moving sooooo slow. Anyone else having this issue?

Internet traffic jam... With iOS8 out for people that aren't getting new devices, their server and network traffic is probably maxed out.

On Sept 24th, I am still seeing iCloud restore moving extremely slow. I dont think it has to do with servers. Any other ideas?

It still might be the servers. There's still a lot of activity going on with the new phones and with iOS 8 issues.

I got my 6 - two weeks ago and the locked screen still says "restoring from iCloud backup" and everyday I get a ! notification that the downloading of certain ups is not complete because the phone is still being restored. Some of my music is also grayed out and I can't play it (everything was backed up to the cloud when i switched from 5 to 6). I know it shouldn't take this long. Suggestions??
