Does uploading affect my internet speed

[MasterObtar]

so im currently uploading a vid on youtube and im on a 5 gb limited plan.
i was wondering how much mb would a video take to upload ( the video is just under 3 minutes). also would it slow down my internet speed

it will take up however large the video file is, and yes, it will slow done your internet speeds whilst you are uploading.

It depends on your computer.

It doesn't depend on his Computer, it depends on his connection. So, if you have a good connection, that means you wouldn't have any problems with uploading those videos but it does slow down your connection. Also, I don't know why your 3 - 5 Minute videos are 5GB (If I got that right?) and I don't wanna get into but that sure is huge.

He means he's limited to only using 5gb internet each day or something.

It depends on the video format. A low quality .flv video can be around 2MB. The same video in a higher quality .mp4 can be around 15MB.
Doesn't your Operating System have some sort of file manager that allows you to see file sizes?
If I were you I would find some sort of script or program to keep track of my bandwidth usage.

Hey,just follow some tips to make your speed up
-->Configure your browser so it won't display graphics, animations, sound, video or other multimedia content (see "How to Turn Off Sounds, Pictures or Video on Web Pages").
-->Surf when Internet traffic is low. Heaviest traffic is usually on weekends and evenings.
-->Use your cache effectively. "Cache" refers to storage space where your recently visited Web sites are saved. You may need to resize your cache allotment, or you may need to purge your cache periodically. Look through your browser's menus for items named Cache, Temporary Internet files and so on.
-->Upgrade your modem.
-->Consult with your Internet service provider to ensure that your modem is configured correctly.
-->Replace your telephone modem with a fast-access connection such as wave, ISDN, DSL, satellite, a cable modem.
