Have the same problem, suddenly started happening out of nowhere, extremely
annoying, taking hours to upload compared to previously just minutes, hoping someone
has a fix soon

I have the same problem.  My last video took 24 hours to upload to Youtube.  Perfmon
shows that the upload was capped at 60Kbps.  I tried uploading to GDrive, and that was
also capped to 60Kbps.  When I uploaded the same file to OneDrive, it uploaded using
my full bandwidth.

I tried two different internet connections (on different exchanges), two different VPNs,
different web browsers, two different PCs, and two different Google accounts.

Same result each time, Youtube/Google appear to be capping bandwidth.

This is frustrating Iv'e been having this problem too for a while now and I've tried
everything on this Earth to fix the extremely slow upload speeds and sometimes some
videos upload normally but most of the time it takes forever. This issue is on Youtube's
end and I wish they could do something to fix it.
