I agree if it's the max speed of you internet line, sure. But I grew up with 56k and didn't have >1Mb/s (notice Mb, not MB) until I left for university, so waiting for content is totally normal. Especially if that content can wait and if that speed is due to security. If I were at work and had to wait 20 minutes to download a docker image, that would indeed be unacceptable.

Sure but you didn't have to download 100MB javascript files and 500 FHD images on each website.
