Increase your Bandwidth by 20%

Increase your Bandwidth by 20%

Windows uses 20% of your bandwidth! Get it back

A nice little tweak for XP. M*crosoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes (suspect for updates and interrogating your machine etc..)

Here's how to get it back:

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

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 on XP Pro, and 2000

Someone still using XP.

BTW, that bandwidth is reserved only when you are doing some bandwidth intensive tasks while windows update or ftp services are running in background. If windows update is not running, 100% bandwidth is available. :bash:

I get it, you don't have any idea about QoS per se. But still the information provided is false, and messing up with group policies is not a good idea. Also, QoS is a limit of maximum allowed bandwidth, not the minimum. This is to ensure that, even when updates are running in background, your internet connection is usable.
