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.
