How To Increase your Bandwidth by 20%?
A nice little tweak for Win XP Pro (not Home) and 2000
By default Windows uses 20% of your bandwidth for their own purposes (suspect for updates and interrogating your machine etc..) ! Get it back!!!!!
Here’s how to get it back:
Click Start–>Run–>type “gpedit.msc” (without the ” of course)
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 great on Windows XP Pro and Windows 2000.
It works great on my Win-XP Pro!
