I believe every internet connection in the world is asymmetric. Most people download way more than they upload.

TCP ACK packages are tiny compared to the payload. I’m not sure this is really your issue.

Edit: To prove the point, this is me downloading a large file. The download to upload ratio is about 40:1.

That was the theory once upon a time, but with the incease of working from home, schooling from home, the sheer number of people who are streaming etc. it's increasingly common for people to need solid up as well as down.

Why would you need a big upload capacity for streaming?

As in, being the streamer. Uploading video to Twitch or Onlyfans or whatever.

Didn’t think of that. Thanks for clarifying.

Language is ambiguous; hosting a live television show from your house and watching Stranger Things are both called "streaming."

Yes but my point was that some people don't even have a choice.

Nope mine's 1 GB down 1 GB up I've checked and it is. True I'll probably never use the upload capability to anything nothing about maybe 4% of its capacity but that's why the company can offer 1 gigabit up.
