I let my WD My Cloud sit there for a few days. At one point or two I backed up some files and was seeing normal transfer rates for me, which is somewhere in the ballpark between 30 - 60 MBPS. Tried it a couple times this morning and again now I am seeing severe degradation with upload speeds not exceeding 10 MBPS. The WD My Cloud 3 TB at my locale is used for backup only. .
There is no question for me at this point - downgrade.
Thanks for all of those providing input,
