We often spend a certain amount of our time in a day being online with our computer. We also do a whole lot of activities with our computer like blogging, chatting, surfing, playing games etc. But very often we are not satisfied with out computer's Internet speed.
I have seen people complaining about poor bandwidth of their Internet and sometimes the level of frustration went to such an extent that they end up changing their Internet service providers. I have also witnessed people asking how to boost up their Internet speed through some application software. They even don't hesitate to purchase those softwares and sometimes, yes, it might have worked for them for a while.
It is important for me to mention, at this point, that the speed of your internet connection depends upon a whole lot of factors like your interent service provider, server traffic isp, your location, your network configuration and sometimes even the weather etc; but this thing I am not going to discuss now, perhaps, in some of my upcoming articles. Now I am not going to waste your time much and I am coming back to the point for which I am writing this article of mine.
Let me tell you we can easily increase our internet speed. The logic behind this is that whenever we are using internet our windows use almost twenty percent bandwidth and Microsoft uses another twenty percent bandwidth for its own work. This means out of hundred percent bandwidth we are only using sixty percent. Now if we could, anyhow, increase this sixty percent then it will be possible for us to experience high internet speed.
But now the question is how we could increase the internet speed? Let's check out how we could do this. First of all, click start then click run and type gpedit.msc and then press the Enter button. Now you will see a window named Group policy. You will see there computer configuration and user configuration. Next click Local computer policy then computer configuration then administration templates then network then Qos packet scheduler and finally Limit reserve bandwidth. Now double click and you will see that by default the packet scheduler limits the system twenty percent of the bandwidth of a connection. Next you will change it to Enable Reserve bandwidth and set the value as 0 (zero). As a result of this now your computer will not keep reserve any bandwidth and your internet speed will increase to a great extent.
