Thread: Increase Your Internet Bandwidth

I just found this good tips from my ISP. I am sure it works for you.

Here's a simple little thing you can do to increase your bandwidth by at least 20%.

Ok here we go...

1.) log on as Administrator.

2.) start - run - type gpedit.msc

3.) expand "local computer policy"

4.) then expand "administrative templates"

5.) then expand "network branch"

6.) Highlight the "QoS Packet Scheduler"

7.) on right window double click "limit reservable bandwidth"

8.) on setting tab check the "enabled"

9.) change "Bandwidth limit %" to 0

You're done.It would be a good idea to reboot after this.

That is really nic of you to bring this topic in front of us once again. As i have already seen this topic on other forum as well. It will be better if you can post the source as well where you got this information from.

I have tried it didn't boost my signal speed at all. I think there are a lot of other factors also judging out internet connection speed.

its works better for me now a days i m getting 32-34 KBps opposite to what i used to get before doing this 28-31 KBps its really nice and i don't understand why should crappy operating system like windows should be given away 20 % for its own use god knows what ?( as its clearly mention in the help of this option )

guys, disabling QoS is not a good idea. all sort of malformed packets will flow into your box. be carefull

It's not a wise idea to disable or decrease the bandwidth for QoS (Quality of Service) where actually its responsible for if you're getting an overflow of packets, it will drop some or will queue them, what you're doing right now is that you're making overflow packets not dropped and though if you're downloading a file for example, the file may be corrupted.

thanks for the information

thanks for tip

is this safe?
i mean , will i hav mean consequences if somtin goes wrong?

I tried this a few days back. For me no speed increase was there.

Thanks for this information.

i didn't found something like that in windows 7
i guss you mean that in XP

I use XP SP2.

There is no use disabling the Qos.... It is way of windows occupying a part of your available bandwidth(20%) for transfer of important packets... Like for eg, downloading of updates... This 20% BW is used up only during updates or such stuff... Disabling Qos is not good at all in any case....
