WOW 19 - Boost Internet Speed - I

Good Afternoon Friends,

Many of us have a really fast Internet Connection(How fast is the really fast?). We all know our computer could be tweaked. The same applies for our Internet connection too. That can be tweaked jus like our PC. There are two methods using which we can tweak our PC. One is by freeing up the bandwidth (20%) reserved by Windows to improve the Quality of Service (QOS). I will be discussing about this today. The steps you require to do are:

Steps:

1. Start --> Run --> gpedit.msc

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 and lo, you've done.

NOTE: Few systems may require re-booting to take effect.

Doing this will give you an additional 20% of the bandwidth which Windows had reserved earlier for QOS.
