If you use Windows XP Professional then it is possible to squeeze an extra 20% out of your internet connection. By default Windows XP Pro holds back 20% of your Internet speed for various services like windows update and spyware checks.

If you want to tap into this locked speed then make the following changes:

• Go to Start-> Run-> and type gpedit.msc
• Expand the Administrative Templates branch
• Expand the Network tab
• Highlight QoS Packet Scheduler
• Click on Limit Reservable Bandwidth and check the ‘enabled’ box
• Then Change the Bandwidth limit % to 0 %

Once you’ve done this click apply and restart your PC. After rebooting you should see a noticeable improvement in your net speed.
