The results of four tests:
regular video with regular direct connection (Too slow to watch 720p or 1080p)
[att=1]
regular video with tunneled connection (Fast enough to watch 1080p with no problem)
[att=2]
youtube.com/my_speed test video with direct connection (Fast. Test video is not throttled)
[att=3]
my_speed test video with tunneled connection (As fast as direct un-throttled)
[att=4]
The tunneled connection is encrypted and is not throttled. Any regular video I play on youtube.com is throttled. It's impossible to watch any video on youtube.com above 480p (except for the speed test video). If I use the tunneled connection, I reach the same speeds as the test video on the regular direct connection.
Regular speed test for my connection:

(Note: The wording I use in this post assumes the connection is being throttled, it could be caused by some other issue, but the evidence is quite convincing)
