How to speed up your internet connection

By default, most systems have some bandwidth reserved for nothing. You can change this the following way: (Note: this only works in Windows XP Professional)

1. Open gpedit.msc from the run box in the start menu.
2. Navigate to: Local Computer Policy > Computer configuration > Administrative templates > Network > QoS Packet Scheduler
3. Open Limit Reservable Bandwidth
4. Check the enabled box and change the Bandwidth Limit to 0%.

Depending on your system, this might need a restart to start working.
