I’ll play. Without assuming where anyone is from, I’ll add that the vast majority of US residential Internet connections, especially those in rural areas, are not only slower than they are in much of Europe (for example) but are commonly asymmetrical, too. Meaning even if someone has a gigabit connection, often it’s only 1Gbps in one direction for Americans while the maximum upstream throughput may be closer to 50Mbps. Even a top-of-the-line, 5 figure Cisco or Juniper router can’t do much to improve that situation for the end user when someone starts uploading large video files.
That said, fortunately or unfortunately (as our President says), incest isn’t exclusive to Alabama,
…yeah, because THATS what this post is about!
Why not have a fun joke and some education?

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.
