Increase the speed of your Internet connection by 20%

Microsoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes(suspect for updates and interrogating your machine etc..)
Here's how to get it back:
Click Start-->Run-->type "gpedit.msc"
This opens the group policy editor.
Then go to:
Local Computer Policy-->Computer Configuration-->Administrative Templates-->Network-->QOS Packet Scheduler-->Limit Reservable Bandwidth
Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab :
"By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default."
So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO.
This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.Works on XP Pro and 2000.

Thanks MAN! I hope it will improve my Internet speed. Though I set value to 1 insted of 0 as suggested by you. I think we should pay respect Microsoft also. If there is anything else can improve my internet speed in VISTA ULTIMATE 32bit please let me know.

First, gpedit.msc is not avilable in Vista.

Second, just as in Win XP this doesn't do diddly unless updates are running. Otherwise the bandwidth is 100% available.

After 12+ years of PC support it is "tricks" like this that lead to more problems for me to fix.

well, the guy that said to type gpedit.msc in the "SEARCH" box instead of the "RUN" box was right.
I have Vista Ultimate and I found the gpedit.msc just like he said, and actually it appeared in the Program menu.

In order to increase internet speed you have to use an internet accelerator like Internet Cyclone.

The Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) is NOT available in Vista Home or Vista Home Premium.

What a shame some idiots here with Vista Ultimate are too stupid to appreciate that Vista Ultimate has things in it which the lower versions don't have.

Makes you wonder why these morons thought Microsoft made it more expensive ?

I harԁly comment, however afteг browsіng through a few of
the remarks on this page "Increase the speed of your Internet connection by 20%".
I do have a couple of quеstions foг you if you dοn't mind. Could it be simply me or does it seem like a few of the remarks come across like they are coming from brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are posting on additional sites, I would like to follow you. Could you make a list of all of your social sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
