Single digit hours is my problem. I have videogames savefiles in there (Dyson Sphere Program especially) which are gigabytes, they should transfer in seconds. I have 1500 mbps down/1000 up and with nextcloud these are transferred within 5 seconds, with pCloud it would take even 30 minutes. But even when downloading large amount of data, it would use at most 90 mbps in terms of bandwidth, while my internet is clearly capable of more. They reported it could be my setup, so I followed everything they said, but nothing changed. Every other service is OK, so I'm just a disappointed lifetime customer. It has also a series of glitch that are incredibly annoying: - It says everything is uploaded, but it's not necessary true and it never says what is not correctly uploaded. Sometimes you wake up and some files have never been uploaded (this is a well known problem) - Every time settings are reset, it loses every information about "Sync" folders. I gave up on synchronizing multiple of them. The problem is that it's impossible to determine how it will synchronizing an existing folder that went out of sync folders, I'm always afraid it will restore old files, so I do a full download, but a full download take hours because their slow download speed (and I paid for 2TB lifetime!) My usage of it is now long term storage and light files (text+images documents)

Fair enough - I get how with your use case these are issues. I usually have a lot of files but most of them are single to tens of megs at most, so it works for me and I've never had the sync issues and upload failures you describe despite using it for years. But my experience with other providers means I don't question your own experience here at all, and maybe others thinking of trying them out should consider which of our use cases more closely matches theirs and proceed with appropriate caution.
