How to increase net access speed ?

Microsoft Windows XP Professional gives the following information
on Qality of Service in Packet Scheduler:

Determines the percentage of connection bandwidth that the system can
reserve. This value limits the combined bandwidth reservations of all
programs running on the system.

By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this etting to
override the default.

If you enable this setting, you can use the "Bandwidth limit" box to
adjust the amount of bandwidth the system can reserve.

Specifies the maximum number of outstanding packets permitted on the
system. When the number of outstanding packets reaches this limit, the
Packet Scheduler postpones all submissions to network adapters until the number falls below this limit.

To change the default value of 20 percent, you have to follow this
procedure:

Click on Start, goto Programs, goto Accessories.
Click on Command Prompt
Type gpedit.msc
Under Computer Configuration, click on 'Administrative Templates'
Click on Network
Click on QoS Packet Scheduler
Double-click on Limit Reservable Bandwidth
Check on Enabled
Change Bandwidth limit to 0 %
Click [Apply] [OK]

It may not improve in file downloading, but it certainly gives improvement in accessing encripted pages like those
in email accounts. Improvement can also be found if the site
contains many icons or image files.

thanks for that... i hope that that can solve some of my issues of the internet running really well / then really crap!!...

thanks for the informative post

My command prompt doesn't recognize gpedit.msc

Mr. markfox01 and others who use Windows XP Home,

You will not have the file "gpedit.msc". You can copy the file
from a friend who use XP Professional. I am hopeful that it
works for you also.
