I came across an interesting article, which i would like to share with all of you. In essence, they are tips on improving your web connection speeds just by tweaking a few simple settings. Read on for them!

1. Say no to reserve bandwidth
By default, a Windows XP computer sets aside 20 percent of your bandwidth for the Operating System (OS). To undo the setting:
a) Go to Start and click on Run. Type “gpedit.msc” in the Run box. This will show up the Group Policy Editor.
b) Click on Computer Configuration, followed by Administrative Templates and then Network on the left navigation bar.
c) Then select QOS Packet Scheduler. Right click on Limit reservable bandwidth and select properties.
d) The message “not configured” pops up, but this doesn’t mean that no bandwidth is reserved. The default setting is hidden. To undo it, manually set reserve bandwidth to 0 percent.
e) You can do this by clicking enabled and then setting the bandwidth limit to 0. Then click Ok to exit.

2. Optimise TCP/IP settings
a) Download a nitty piece of freeware called SG TCP Optimizer. This sets up the best way your PC sends and receives data packets for improved connection speeds. You do not need to install the software. To run the program, go to http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php and double-click the icon.
b) A window will pop up. Under the General Settings tab, drag the slider to match your connection’s download speed. Then select the Optimal Settings radio button at the bottom of this popup and click Apply Changes.
c) Another window will pop up. Make sure the Backup box is ticked and then click Ok. You’ll be asked to reboot your system for the changes to take effect.

That’s it, you are done! Enjoy the zippy Internet speeds.
