This is very old, I would not do this as It doesn't really increase by a lot at all, And you also have a bigger chance of screwing up your bandwidth settings.

Increase your internet connection bandwidth

There is a feature in windows xp (Packet Scheduler) which take 20% of your internet connection band width. You can disable this feature.
1- Go to Start Menu > Run and then type "gpedit.msc" to run Group Policy.
2- Go to Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates.
3- Under Administrative Templates, expand Network and then Qos Packet Scheduler.
4- In the right panel, right click on Limit reservable bandwidth and then select Properties.
5- In Limit reservable bandwidth Properties, click on Setting tab and then enable Limit reservable bandwidth.
6- Here you can change Bandwidth Limit from default (20) to 0.
7- Now , go to your Connection properties, select Networking and be sure Packet Scheduler is enabled . click ok and the restart your computer.

This is old news, and some people have fast internet connections already (8mbps+), and some of us (like me) are running windows vista, still great to see people posting the tips, it keeps the tips alive

I read somewhere that this only works in Windows XP Professional Edition but if you wanted to do it in Home Edition all you have to do is click Start > Run > Type in services.msc and then find the QOS service and disable it. I am not sure if this works, I read it and haven't tried it so be careful that you know how to bring it back. As for side effects to doing this, as far as I know mojoman there aren't any. http://www.dslreports.com/faq/3688 This link here says it only affects LAN traffic and not the internet itself. I would try it but I don't want to screw anything up plus I'm happy with what I have at the moment so I'll let the scheduler do it's job.

I tried this and my and I was able to get a new maximum upload speed by about 27 kbps, and download stayed the same. Other than that, nothing went wrong...at all.

okay.... that was only for windows community. but is there any way for increasing the bandwidth for Linux using community.

i am using internet facility through a LAN connected to a centralised web server.

is there any way to steal major amount of bandwidth to my computer? is there any software which could do this?

Downsides of this is that if you are on a network and are transfering files and then also going online, it will not prioritize or distribute a certain percent of the bandwidth to each operation. Instead if will completely fill your connection with one or the other if your connection can not handle both streams based on their size and such.

The post seemed to help me and my fiance quite a bit, we're still having problems with our net, but it's made it at least livable until we get the service tech out here. Nothing is really going to stop a 75% packet loss due to signal and other issues >.> btw I dislike Brighthouse Networks Road Runner cable internet with great intensity. But once again thank you for helping me and my fiance out, we were getting constant signal loss, and almost always disconnecting every few moments, but now we're able to stay on, slowly but better than unable to.

NO BANDWIDTH RESERVED BY WINDOWS
Increase Internet Connection Bandwidth

Replying to soleimanian

WRONG! Windows does not reserve any bandwidth for any purpose. This myth has been circulating way to long. Where do prople get this rubish?

Also this method only works on Windows XP Professional, not on XP Home Edition. (sadly the whole Group Policy Editor doesn't work with Home Edition) but still is not good for your connection at all. Like rval said, it's wrong, and is also a bad idea.

Yes that is true...It will not decrease that much the performance but it will decrease the limit.There are people which think they are hackers or they are professional at computers because they know stupid things like this one.Why you don't go to some school and learn more instead of watching youtube videos , and description full with links.Normally,links are viruses.Instead of trying to speed up your internet connection , you can pay to get more GBs in limit.All this things which are replacing money with free stuff are not real.So don't believe in Speeding up internet,hacking paypal,getting 0.0$ order on EA.

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


As we have discussed before, this is wrong! Following those steps will not improve your Internet performance in any way, and may even make performance worse in certain situations. The system works by allowing applications to reserve a percentage of bandwidth as priority bandwidth for that application. However, it is not constantly used and other applications are free to use that bandwidth until the reserving application requires it. Whatever is not being used is split between all the applications, whether it is reserved or not.

Changing that figure from 20% to 0% means that no applications can reserve bandwidth. This results in high-bandwidth applications (such as games and streaming video) not being able to get the bandwidth they would normally reserve, so performance will actually decrease!

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.
