Restoring iPhone from backup taking a looooong time

Hello, I recently bought a new iPhone 6s. I am trying to restore my stuff from my old phone into the new one. So far, it's been about 16 hours and still nothing. It just says, "Restoring iPhone from backup... about 23 minutes remaining." It started at 5 minutes and progressively keeps getting longer and longer. I am on my computer internet is normal and fast. Not sure what to do now? Thank for any and all help! Oh, I used iTunes. If anyone has any suggestions or knows the solution, a step by step account would be extremely useful because now I am out of not only the new phone, but my old one isn't working now lol.

Just disconnect the iPhone, reboot it, let it boot to the home screen and see if the process has completed. If not, connect it to your computer and do another restore from a backup.
