Speed up your internet by 20% or more by disabling windows reserved bandwidth

By default,  windows limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection. Open Group policy editor. Click Start then Run and type "gpedit.msc" without quotes. This opens the group policy editor.

Then go to:
>> Local Computer Policy
>> Computer Configuration
>> Administrative Templates
>> Network
>> QOS Packet Scheduler
>> Limit Reservable Bandwidth.

See the picture below:

  
   Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab i.e." By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default."
So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.It works on Win 2000 as well. 

   In Windows 8, by default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 80 percent of the bandwidth of a connection. But you can use this setting to override the default.
