On cable television systems running near capacity upstream internet traffic has a very low priority. Sometimes the only way to get higher, more reliable, upload speeds is to pay for expensive "business" packages.

1.3 Gigabytes may be a little large for a 13 minute internet video meant for sharing. You may be able to reduce the size using handbrake or similar tools.

A 13 minute 480p video encoded with h.264 would use less than 300 megabytes.
