Extremely slow downloads and views

I have an extremely fast gigabit connection, and can download from most websites at near about 100MB/s. However, when I try to download folders from Dropbox, it barely downloads at 1 MB/s if I'm luck...

After using Dropbox daily to deliver our company's product to our clients, we have been experiencing extremely slow upload speeds just recently.  I've checked all my settings (haven't changed anything on my PC, as far as I know), and I've googled everything under the sun.  I can't find anything on my end that is not set to optimize upload speeds.  Yet, I am experiencing times when it might take 2 hours to upload what should take less than a minute.  Is there something new going on with Dropbox?  If this persists, I will find it necessary to cancel our account and use a different cloud service, so can someone please help?  (Support personnel had no solution, when I called them)

    I also tried removing the Dropbox app from my PC and reinstalling it.  Speed remains horrible.
