How to speed up your internet connection

30 March 2008 649 views 9 Comments



By default, most systems have some bandwidth reserved for nothing. You can change this the following way: (Note: this only works in Windows XP Professional)

  1. Open gpedit.msc from the run box in the start menu.
  2. Navigate to: Local Computer Policy > Computer configuration > Administrative templates > Network > QoS Packet Scheduler
  3. Open Limit Reservable Bandwidth
  4. Check the enabled box and change the Bandwidth Limit to 0%.

Depending on your system, this might need a restart to start working.

    Is this trick working if I am connecting through a router? I tried restarting but I don’t see any significant change in my network speed.

    You probably have Windows XP Home Edition. Am I right?
    Only Professional Edition has the Local Group Policy Editor.
