How to increase your internet connection speed?


If you have Windows XP, try this. Everyone that has tried it says it works, tell us if it works too. You should be logged as Administrator (not even accounts with administrator privileges).

1. Start - Run - type gpedit.msc.
2. Expand the Local Computer Policy / Administrative Templates / Network Branch.
3. Highlight the QoS Packet Scheduler in left panel.
4. In right panel double click the Limit reservable bandwidth setting.
5. On setting tab check the Enabled item.
6. Where it says Bandwidth limit % change it to read 0.

The problem is, XP seems to want to reserve 20% of the bandwidth for itself. Even with QoS disabled, even when this item is disabled. So why not use it to your advantage.

sorry, but this is bullshit ... it will only reserve banwidth, when its needed for qos-oprations (witch will usually happen never). how can you post such a "tuning" tip without a simple test on your own?

hey, as you said "it will only reserve banwidth, when its needed for qos-oprations (witch will usually happen never)" then why we should allow 20% of bandwidth reserved?
Better we use all of it, right?
i am also feeling speed in surfing and downloading after i have done this.
And if it will any problem then i can disable it... :)
But everyone must give it a shot try.
