Will any Mac iOS systems upgrades work if your ISP only provides 6 mbps download and 1 mbps upload on a good day?
iMac 21.5″ 4K, macOS 11.7
The only negative effects with your current system are:
1) Size: The 10+GB file will take a long time to download
2) Stability: I live in the US Inland Northwest and understand the challenges of signal stability in rural areas. If your connection is constantly interrupted, that can make the upgrade nearly impossible. You may have to haul the iMac to someplace with faster and more reliable internet to do the upgrade.

No. Absolutely not.
The version of macOS you’re running has absolutely no impact on the speed of your internet connection.
The only ‘fix’ for your poor internet speeds would be to get a faster internet service provider.
You may want to investigate the availability of 5G cellular home internet services in your area.
No OS can change the speed of an ISP.
Just to add, upgrading to macOS Ventura will certainly not render your iMac useless.
Am I correct in assuming that upgrade to macOS will render my 2019 IMac useless since on a good day my download is 6mbps and upload is 1 mbps from the one ISP in my rural area? Are there any fixes that work?
