Boost Your Internet Speed Without Software

FACT: 
Did you know that about 20% of your internet bandwidth is reserved by Microsoft. 

Uses of Reserved Bandwidth 

• Windows Automatic Updates rely on this reserved bandwidth. 
• Fast loading Microsoft Websites 
• Sending Error Reports 
• Online Help support in Microsoft Office 

Your precious 20% internet bandwidth is not doomed yet.... 

 The Remedy 

• Start >> Run 
• Type gpedit.msc 
• This opens the Policy Editor 
• Now, Local Computer Policy >> Computer Configuration 
• Then, Administrative Templates >> Network 
• Now, click on QoS Packet Scheduler 
• Now, on Right hand side 
• Double Click Limit reservable bandwidth 
• Now in Setting Tab  

 NOTE: 
It says : Not Configured 
Reality : The Explain Tab says "By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection" 

 ** So, on Setting Tab select Enabled **
 Now, change Bandwidth limit (%) to 0 (Zero)  

 NOTE: 

Misconcept: This don't means that you won't be able to communicate with Microsoft or any its services !!! 

Actually: This reserved Bandwidth is only to accelerate Microsoft internet connections more than other connections !!! So you can actually make good use of it, instead of letting it rot like a bank deposit.

Click OK !!!   That's All !!!
