First off this tutorial were tested by 80 person and they have all had a 20% increase in internet and bandwidth speed.



If you don't know, by default, windows use 20% of your bandwidth. Microsoft reserves this 20% for their purposes (suspect for updates, report error or other similar things). With a little modification of specific windows function, you can back this 20% for you own use and increase your internet speed for 20%. This tutorial is updated and graphically explained. Click here for updated tutorial.
Instructions for increasing internet speed for 20%:
Click: Start>Run>type "gpedit.msc" without the quotations. This will open the group policy editor. Choose from menu: Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Network -> QOS Packet Scheduler -> Limit Reservable Bandwidth
Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. Windows will say it is not configured, but the real status is shown 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.
Now, just enable reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO.
That's it!
This modification will not allow to Microsoft to reserve 20% of your internet speed for their purposes. Changing of this parameter to ZERO will not change windows performance; just will increase your internet speed and bandwidth.


Enjoy in faster surfing! Don't hesitate to write me a comment and give me feedback or results. :mrgreen:

If my router offers less bandwidth than my computer, will this still help?

My computer's bandwidth is not really the problem, tis the connection at the hotel where I live.

I mean, does windows reserve 20% of your current internet speed or 20% of the computer's capable speed?

If your computer has a 50mb/sec wireless card, but your router only offers 8kb/sec, since the available bandwidth never reaches 80% of the badwidth your computer is capable of handeling, will this still make a difference?

Bro the the pc does not reserve 20% of your computer's speed. By doing this tweak, you will gain a faster burst and faster constant net-speed... As I explained before, the computer by default reserve 20% of your net speed to download updates for your computer. You ever noticed that, browsing the net while your computer is downloading updates, doesn't affect your browsing at all? well its the reserved 20% of your net-speed it is using.


In your case bro your bandwidth wouldn't be affected because you do not use as much bandwidth as you should. (unless you are using your pc as a server)

ehm i didn't understand all of the prob Don had, but if he only gets 8mb/s or w/e then his comp takes 20% off from that, right? So this should help anyway o.o

No, because my comp is capable of more than 8 + 8 * .2

I think it only adds to your comp's capable connection speed, not the actual speed.

But that would mean that it will slow down when updating i bet it takes it from the capable speed which would be 8mb/s...
