How are you connecting your system directly via Ethernet or WiFi? Do you have a second system which is working though your cable router?

Take a look at your systems resources. Do you have at least 1/3 of the HD free? Have you tried defragmenting your HD? If your system is highly fragmented it can cause slow file transfers. You can also have a drive thats starting to fail as well.

Try connecting via direct Ethernet to your router, Is that any better?

What are your iPhones? You maybe able to download directly over the cellular network (check your service contract first! Some limit you on how much as well as how fast).

Don't forget your internet connection is not symmetrical (same data rate up & down) must are asymmetrical (very slow up and faster down). Why this is important is if you are saving to your iCloud account. Make sure you don't enable iTunes Match services until you've upgraded your iPhones.

Check your internet connection using this free app: Network Speed Test.

Âm thanh như kết nối internet của bạn không được tốt lắm! Thường thì tốc độ tải lên rất chậm và tốc độ tải xuống nhanh hơn nhiều vì họ cho rằng bạn đang nghe hoặc xem nội dung trực tuyến không tải lên iCloud.

Sounds like your internet connection is not very good! Often the upload speed is very slow and the download speed is much faster as they assume you are listening or watching online content not uploading to iCloud.
