I'm a YouTuber and my videos take an eternity to upload, any help?

I have extremely slow BT internet and I know it. But, sometimes a video of 20 minutes can take 1 hour and sometimes it can take 15 hours, with no difference in quality at all. I am a daily vlogger so as you can imagine, it's very difficult to go through this each day! So does anyone have any tips to help me resolve this? I do have a few questions:

When I export from my editer (WMM) it gives me 2 options, MPEG or WMV, which would be better for uploading to YouTube?

From an iPhone, how can you improve upload times?

    Most of the aped problems are going to be with your ISP. And I use MP4 format to upload and even then it takes a long time. You can download Hand Brake which is a free program and will compress the videos without any loss of definition. Uploading from an IPhone is still going to depend on the overall speed of your Internet Connection.

    I believe WMV is the better choice. It also takes a long time for me to upload videos, and sometimes takes an hour even for an 8 min. video.

    WMV is usually the better to upload with, and if you need faster upload times, why don't you try and upload your videos round a friend / relative's house who has better internet, even a free wi-fi cafe would work.
