Speed Up your Internet connection or bandwidth for 20% on Windows
Microsoft reserve 20% of your internet bandwidth for updates, error reporting and other Microsoft staff. So, with simple settings changes you will get back your 20% of internet bandwidth or speed. Follow this very simple and graphical explained tutorial:
Click: Start/Run and type “gpedit.msc” without the quotes. This will open the group policy editor.
Then choose from the menu or foollow the picture steps:
Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Network -> QOS Packet Scheduler -> Limit Reservable Bandwidth
Double click on Limit Reservable Bandwidth. Windows will say it is not configured, but the real status is shown under the ‘Explain’ tab: “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.”
Check “Enable” and then set it to “0″ (ZERO) like on picture:
Enjoy in faster web browsing and downloading.

This is the limit, not a permanent reservation. It means that, while the system is downloading updates, it will use *at most* 20% of your bandwidth. If you aren’t downloading any system updates, it shouldn’t be using any of the 20% reserved.
Have you got any speed benchmarks to back up your claims?
