Increase Broadband Speed, Tip (xp)

[liammpease]

This ones simple:
This is for broadband connections.
1. Make sure your logged on as actually "Administrator". do not log on with any account that just has administrator privileges.
2. Start - run - type gpedit.msc
3. Expand the "local computer policy" branch
4. Expand the "administrative templates" branch
5. Expand the "network branch"
6. Highlight the "QoS Packet Scheduler" in left window
7. In right window double click the "limit reservable bandwidth" setting
8. On setting tab check the "enabled" item
9. Where it says "Bandwidth limit %" change it to read 0
reboot if you want to but not necessary on some systems your all done. Effect is immediate on some systems. some need re-boot. I have one machine that needs to reboot first, the others didn't. Don't know why this is.

This is more of a "counter what XP does" thing. In other words, XP seems to want to reserve 20% of the bandwidth for its self. Even with QoS disabled, even when this item is disabled. So why not use it to your advantage. To demonstrate the problem with this on stand alone machines start up a big download from a server with an FTP client. Try to find a server that doesn't max out your bandwidth. In this case you want a slow to medium speed server to demonstrate this. Let it run for a couple of minutes to get stable. The start up another download from the same server with another instance of your FTP client. You will notice that the available bandwidth is now being fought over and one of the clients download will be very slow or both will slow down when they should both be using the available bandwidth. Using this "tweak" both clients will have a fair share of the bandwidth and will not fight over the bandwidth.

I made the changes and i got the following test results



I will have to wait and see how it turns out over few weeks. thanks for the tip..

I think tweaks don't do anything. I haven't really noticed any difference in my internet connection after making the changes. In the end, it all depends on the site you are visiting, network traffic and your local network traffic. If any of you see any kind of different after making the changes, let me know. Here is my latest speed results and my results prove that charter sucks in everyway possible.

my latest speed test result. I made no changes to my computers and using default settings.

yep i never believed in increasing your internet speed. But this download manager called internet download manager did increase my download speed. I was downloading at 45-55kbps but if i use this software i can download up to 140kbps.

There are two types of connection, one the physical connection. For example Boardband if you have 1 MBit/s there is no way to get any byte more.

The second typ is your actual download speed, it depends on the server you connect to, the global traffic and a lot other stuff. It is possible that special software works better than some other but if your connection is filled up to the limit (1 MBit/s on the physical side) even those programs do not work.

Also watch out 8 bit are 1 byte so 1 Mbit/s means you can download with 128 kb/s . So it is important if you see kbit/s or kb/s !

In my connection here in Brazil (ADSL 300kpbs) could see a slight improvement which helped a lot because the speed of connection available by telephone carriers is despresível!
