To stop from reserving bandwidth for priority applications and increase the speed of your Internet connection, you need to change the Quality of Service (QoS) settings in the registry.
Make sure you must log in with administrative privilege.
- Click “Start” and select “Run” or press Win+R.
- Type “gpedit.msc“(without quotes).
- Click on Computer Configuration(in left side panel).
- Open Administrative Templates(in right side panel).
- Open Network and open QoS Packet Sheduler.
- Then open Limit reservable bandwidth, a new window will appear.[/unordered_list]
- Click Enable and change Bandwidth limit from 20% to 0%.
- Click Apply and then OK.
- Restart computer and surf internet.

This one is too good.
This is really good for windows XP users, but for Windows 7 users, you made it easy by providing the link to download the application.
