No, nonono. There is a difference between upstream and downstream. The upload would not make general use noticeably slower.

Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Wrong, you still need to send traffic to receive it. If upload is bottlenecked your net will feel increasingly sluggish
Well, yea, though that would suggest a very limited bandwidth
Except for "traffic shaping" and other such bullshit that may unnecessarily cause congestion, trying to optimize the shit out of that upload.
You still need to send the acks when downloading. If the upload is saturated then you will still have issues downloading stuff, as either the acks are delayed or dropped.

If one upload slows down your internet you probably need a router that has a better packet scheduler. I recommend you look for one that uses FQ-CoDel
.....yeah, because THATS what this post is about!
Why not have a fun joke and some education?
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,

Love lemmy for that though :( Where would i learn about fqcodel if not here.
Tbf it has 2 of 4 panels complaining about slow Internet.
You’re ignoring the fact that most areas of the US are hamstrung by super shitty asymmetric up/down bandwidths (fuck you very much, Comcast). I have 1.3gbps down… and 30mbps up, per the contract.
Why don’t you switch to a different ISP? Last time I checked I could choose from 13 different ISPs on fiber alone, and that’s in ‘socialist’ Europe. I can’t even dream of how many options someone in ‘free market’US must have.
Regulatory capture means that a shockingly high proportion (I’d be willing to bet it’s a strong majority) of unitedstatesians have precisely one viable option for an ISP with meaningfully high speed.

A few moments later the internet is slow again, the son and father are downloding her porn
It will be slow again when son downloads his sister's porn. Home sweet Alabaaaama!
Maybe they should invest in a family nas then so they can share is locally
Why bother with all the fancy technology? just leave the door open.
*incest in a nas
*Sweet Home
no, that'd be a copyright infringement
gasp
Not COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT!

Uploading wouldn't cause a noticeable slowdown for most internet uses, unless OP was also trying to upload something as well. Most ISPs offer a fraction of the upload speed as download and your average person still doesn't even notice a slowdown.
I was the sysadmin for a ISP for over ten years. When you max your upload it slows everything down.
Definitely not standard for the US, but I max my fiber upload all the time and it has zero impact on my download speeds.
I feel very lucky to have a good fiber provider servicing my house.

It’s a throughput issue not a bandwidth one. Can’t make requests to download if your uplink is fully saturated.
With cheap routers, bufferbloat is actually more likely to cause a noticeable slowdown with uploading rather than downloading, since your upload is usually much lower it's much easier to max it out unless you have a powerful router and/or some good QoS rules defined.
If you're trying to play a real time online game, you will notice if your upload capacity is hogged elsewhere.
Same with anything using TCP because you need to send packets back.
Back with old DSL and especially dialup it was a much bigger issue.
Uploading her porn? Gross! To where though? There's so many places she could upload to, which one? So disgusting!
A fellow adherent of the scientific method, I see
Good for her!
