Speed up your internet speed by 20%

Apparently many people want to disable QoS for many reasons (i.e) to Speed up Internet Connection. THIS IS WRONG.

Some of us may find that after installing Windows XP, the Internet connection gets slower. A possible reason for this is the QoS (Quality of Service) installed. This service reserves 20 per cent of the bandwidth for itself, even with QoS disabled. In order to remove this reserved quota, you will have to make sure you are logged on as Administrator. Go to Start > Run and type gpedit.msc.

Expand to:
local computer policy/administrative templates/network.

Highlight the "QoS Packet Scheduler" in the left window and in the right window, double-click the "limit reservable bandwidth" setting. On the settings tab check the "enabled" item and change the "bandwidth limit" to read 0. After doing this, you should immediately notice a boost in your Internet connection speed.

You also need to verify that QOS packet scheduler is enabled in your network connection properties done by going to control panel > network connections > right click on your connection > properties > check mark for QOS.
