How to maintain a fast and reliable Polygon node sync?

I'm trying to maintain my Polygon node to work all the time and ensure fast sync speeds. I have set the maximum peers to 150, but I'm only getting around 120 after a week. I restart my node occasionally and want it to be as close to validators as possible. I already have a few nodes but need more trusted nodes for better sync performance. Could anyone share some good enodes or advice for improving sync speed?

You can start by adding the nodes mentioned in the Polygon documentation: https://docs.polygon.technology/pos/how-to/full-node/full-node-binaries/#configure-bor-seeds-mainnet. Even having one node is often enough to sync your node. Adding more enodes might not necessarily improve your situation because peers connect and disconnect randomly. Having around 120 peers is actually good.

Increasing the max peers to 150 is a good step, but make sure your network and hardware are also optimized for performance. Consider the geographical proximity of the nodes you are connecting to for potentially better sync speed.
