**Increase internet speed by 20% Without Any Software**

Microsoft reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes like  
Windows Updates and interrogating your PC etc.  
By unreserving this bandwidth, you can make your internet connection faster.  
By 20%. The steps to be followed are:

1. Click Start then Run and type “gpedit.msc” without quotes.

2. Then go to Local Computer Policy\>Computer Configuration\>Administrative Templetes\>Network\>QoS Packet Scheduler. Click on QoS Packet Scheduler. In the right side , find Limit Reservable Bandwidth and double click on Limit Reservable Bandwidth.

3. It will say it is not configured but the truth is under the ‘Explain’ tab. Select ‘Enable’ and set reservable bandwidth to zero.

4. Click on ‘Apply’ and your internet speed will boost up by 20%.

**Steps :-**

Hi,

Thank you for sharing this. I tried various % to test this out, at the moment of those tests i was not getting any windows update etc., and regardless what % i placed i seemed to be getting about same network speed on [speedtest.net](http://speedtest.net) . Are you sure this is not % windows reserves when there is an update happening ?

I think you could see differences when downloading certain files. Why don’t you try to download files while disabling limit bandwidth once and try another one while enabling limit bandwidth.
