Increase Your Broadband Speed



Increase
Your
Broadband
Speed





This is for broad band connections, though it might work for dial up !!!

* Make sure your logged on as actually "Administrator".
go to run & type gpedit.msc

* Expand the "Local Computer Policy" branch.

* Expand the "Administrative Templates" branch.

* Expand the "Network Branch".

* Highlight the "QoS Packet Scheduler" in left window.

* In right window double-click the "Limit Reservable Bandwidth" setting.

* On setting tab check the "Enabled" item.

* Where it says "Bandwidth limit %" change it to read 0 .

Effect is immediate on some systems, some need to re-boot. This is more of a "counter
what XP does" thing. In other words, programs can request up to 20% of the bandwidth be
reserved for them, even with QoS disabled.
