We have detected another useful way of increasing your internet speeds. This tip helps windows users to increase their internet speed or bandwidth by 20%. 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%.

Instructions for increasing internet speed for 20%:

Click: Start --> Run -->type "gpedit.msc" without the quotes. 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.
