Hey guys, i'm not at home, and there's no wifi here.

im tethered from my phone seeing as my billing cycle ends on the 8th and i have 800mb left i decided i dont mind if i use it up.

Assuming a bandwidth of 1MBit/s (~720p) it means:
1 MByte / 8 seconds = 7.5 MByte / minute

800 / 7.5 = 107 minutes
Add some overhead and other stuff: ~ 1.5 hours

For a 500kbit stream (~480p) you can assume about twice the time.
Of course the bandwidth is not stable and depends on the content and stream settings.

Depends on the quality

I'm not 100% sure of this, so please do correct me if I'm wrong:
800mb = 6553600 kilobits, so if you watch a 320kbit stream (not to be confused with 320p) that would be 6553600/320*60*60 = 5,6 hours.

EDIT: Darn it, Morfildur beat me to it.

Nono, whenever you load the video, in the bottom right...there should be a selection: 480 / 720 / 1080. Just pick the quality you want.
