Speed up ur internet speed
Microsoft reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for their own
purposes like Windows Updates and interrogating your PC etc

You can get it back:

Click Start then Run and type "gpedit.msc" without quotes.This opens
the group policy editor. Then go to:
Local Computer Policy
then Computer Configuration
then Administrative Templates then Network then QOS Packet Scheduler
and then to Limit Reservable Bandwidth.
Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not
configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab i.e."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."
So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO.
This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default
20%. 6/30/07 Ben.T.Ge?rge,
Increase the speed of your internet connection...
As more and more people get quick connections to the internet, such as
cable or ADSL, it becomes apparent to the user of a simple dial-up
modem that the World Wide Web can quickly turn into the World Wide
Wait. Here a trick that can help speed up your current modem without
shelling out the big bucks.
There is a setting located in your windows registry called the Maximum
Transfer Unit (MTU). This determines the size of the packets of data
sent between your and your server. In Windows 95, this setting is has
a value of 1,500 bytes when the actual size of internet packets is
1,000 bytes. This can sometimes slow things down. To remedy the
situation, simply follow these steps:

In the registry editor (Start > Run > regedit.exe), navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\NetTrans.
In the NetTrans folder you should find another folder named "000x" in
which x represents a fourth digit. Right-click on the "000x" folder
and select New and StringValue. Rename the item that appears in the
panel on the right side to MaxMTU, then double-click it to bring up
the Edit String box and give it a velue of 1002.

Remember to keep playing with the MaxMTU value until you feel that
your internet connection has greatly sped up. Some people report huge
speed gains using this tricks, while others hardly notice a
difference. In any case, it's definetly worth a try.
