How To Increase Your Internet Speed By 20%

[size=4][color=red][font=Verdana]How To Increase Your Internet Speed By 20%[/font][/color][/size]

If you use Windows XP Professional then it is possible to squeeze an extra 20% out of your internet connection. By default Windows XP Pro holds back 20% of your Internet speed for various services like windows update and spyware checks.

If you want to tap into this locked speed then make the following changes:

1. Go to Start-> Run-> and type gpedit.msc
2. Expand the Administrative Templates branch
3. Expand the Network tab
4. Highlight QoS Packet Scheduler
5. Click on Limit Reservable Bandwidth and check the ?enabled? box
6. Then Change the Bandwidth limit % to 0 %

Once you?ve done this click apply and restart your PC. After rebooting you should see a noticeable improvement in your net speed.

Wow wow.. way to go buddy... but will this effect the computer updating later.. that's my concern.. we can also put.. anything other than 0% right... like 3 or 5 or something like that..

yes you can set that

it should'nt be. incase you find it causing problem just reverse the process.

This following tip will help to increase the Internet Speed:

Make sure you're logged on as actually "Administrator". Do not log on with any account that just has administrator privileges.

1)Start > Run > type gpedit.msc (not available in home version).
2)Expand the Local Computer Policy branch.
3)Expand the Administrative Templates branch.
4)Expand the Network branch.
5)Highlight the "QoS Packet Scheduler" in left window.
6)In right window double click the "limit reservable bandwidth" setting.
7)On setting tab check the ENABLED item.
8)Where it says "Bandwidth limit %" change it to read 0 (ZERO).
9)Close gpedit.msc.

Effect is immediate on some systems, some need to re-boot
