How Do I Increase My Internet Speed

Here’s a simple 3 minute tweak/hack that will increase broadband speed in Windows 7 (Pro & Ultimate) as well as in Windows 8 and I believe that will answer your question of knowing How Do I Increase My Internet Speed.

You may already know that by default (even with QoS disabled) Windows reserves up to 20 percent of your connections bandwidth for it’s own tasks like windows update and updating of some other applications as well.

And you know if you will be able to override this reserve then your broadband speed will be improved. You will just have to take the following steps to increase your broadband speed.

Before we proceed make sure you Log on as Administrator, not as a user with Administrator privileges.

• First step is open the Run dialog box using shortcut Window + R and type gpedit.msc

• Expand [ Computer Configuration ] branch.
• Expand [ Administrative Templates ] branch.
• Expand [ Network ] branch.
• Highlight [ QoS Packet Scheduler ].

• Double-click [ Limit Reservable Bandwidth ].
• The default selection will be Not Configured for you but the moment you change it to enabled you will see that the drop down selection will say 20. You will have to change it to 0 and click on Apply and then click on OK.

• After doing all the steps close every window that is open, disconnect your internet, empty your page cache from the browser and clear the temporary files from your computer and then restart your computer.

You should see a significant increase in your computer speed after taking these steps. I have my self done this and my speed by 60 kbps after doing these steps.
