I uploaded a full 1080p 1.8GB video just yesterday - took 6 minutes.
I have uploaded a 2.5GB vieo a few weeks back in 8 mins.
I certainly do not find YouTube upload speeds capped.
Then again my speed is pretty good

I'm on around 50-80mbps download and 17mbps upload and I've never noticed a cap.. most of my videos are around 400mb-2gb and always upload in under 10 minutes.. maybe its because of your area? It says new york? Youtube server could be under strain there

My upload speed as always been 1mb/sec, its what I pay for.
Currently uploading a 765mb file which is around 13mins long and is 720HD. Youtube says it will take around 1hr and 45mins. So doing a little math, i have worked out my uploaded speed to youtube to be 0.12mb/sec. So yeah i think there is a sight difference lol.

I wouldn't even know if there was a cap, as I wouldn't ever reach it. Think my download is 400kb/s and the upload is 82kb/s.

@IftiBashir, Very good youtube video upload speed! Seems like in UK Youtube gives much better upload speed.
But its still seems capped according to your stats - by roughly calculating your Youtube video upload is at ~15 Mbps (if i havent mixed something by calculating...) which is definitely more than enough for our needs, but your internet upload speed according your speedtest.net stats is 87 Mbps, which is several times faster than your Youtube video upload speed.
Another my try to figure out that its capped:
@Pavilion Plays has mentioned in other topic he can upload 300 mb-1gb files in 1-4 minutes - its pretty much the same time as yours, @IftiBashir, video upload time (2.5 gb in 8 minutes) while Pavilion Plays mentioned his upload speed is 17 MB/s while yours is 87 MB/s, and you both are in UK probably.
(@Pavilion Plays, i hope you do not mind that i posted your stats from other topic
its for comparison, i think its informative in order to figure things out.)Also by adding up @TouchGameplay informative message on this topic into count, so far from what info we gathererd it seems like capping limit differs from country to country (or maybe not even from country but from location... or maybe even internet service provider vs youtube "relationships")

Geez! I wish I had upload speed like that!
I think mine right around 5MB/s
Does anyone think it just has to do with the youtube server download speed or I'm I just sounding like a complete noob? I'm saying that no matter how fast you can send something, the other end still needs to receive it. I agree with an earlier comment about peak hours, I notice upload actually during the day is much faster than waiting until night or early early in the morning. Around dawn is putting good speed too!
Oh, BTW, I'm in the States.

...Seems like it is like that, and probably the closer are Youtube servers to uploaders place/country, the easier/faster Youtube can receive it (imho)
btw: where are Youtube servers are located? Or its in multiple countries? - here im a complete noob
never searched about in what country(s) Youtube servers are located...
