How to Increase your Internet Connection’s Speed in Windows by 20%

Not many are aware of the fact that Windows reserves around 20% of your internet connection’s bandwidth for the operating system and the applications installed on it. So essentially at any point of time you are not able to use 100% of your internet connection’s speed. This reserved bandwidth doesn’t matter much if you have a high speed internet connection, but for those of you who have a slow internet connection, removing the 20% bandwidth limit can significantly speed up your web browsing experience and increase download speeds.
Unfortunately the group policy editor is only available on Pro, Enterprise and Ultimate versions of Windows and it can only be accessed if you are using the computer with administrator rights. However there are several tweaks available on the internet to enable it on unsupported version of windows, but be warned that doing so can make your computer unstable. Therefore if you are looking for an tried and tested method to increase your internet connection’s speed. then you can go ahead and remove the bandwidth limit. Doing so will instantly increase your internet connection’s speed by 20%.
Removing the bandwidth reserve limit on windows can be tricky for some windows users, since you need to make some change in the group policy editor. But if you follow the instructions provided below carefully, you’re good to go. For those who want to increase their internet connection’s speed by 20%, here’s how you can use the group policy editor in windows to do so.

Removing the reservable bandwidth limit set by windows:

Step 1: Type in Gpedit.msc in the windows search box and press enter.

gpedit.msc
Step 2: Navigate to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates

Administrative templates
         Network -> Qos Packet Scheduler

Network
          Limit Reservable Bandwidth

  • Limit Reservable Bandwidth

Step 3: Select the enabled radio button and then change the bandwidth limit from 20 to 0. Finally Click on Apply to save the changes.

Limit Reservable Bandwidth
Thats’s it, you should be now able to use 100% of your internet connection’s bandwidth.

Phoenix OS is (another) Android-as-a-desktop

Google Android may have been developed as a smartphone operating system (and later ported to tablets, TVs, watches, and other platforms), but over the past few years we’ve seen a number of attempts to turn it into a desktop operating system. One of the most successful has been  Remix OS , which gives Android a taskbar, start menu, and an excellent window management system. The Remix OS team has also generated a lot of buzz over the past year, and this week the operating system gained a lot of new alpha testers thanks to a  downloadable version of Remix OS  that you can run on many recent desktop or notebook computers. But Remix OS isn’t the only game in town.  Phoenix OS  is another Android-as-desktop operating system, and while it’s still pretty rough around the edges, there are a few features that could make it a better option for some testers. Some background I first discovered Phoenix OS from  a post in the Remix OS Google Group , although I’ve also found mentions of th

How ad-free subscriptions could solve Facebook

At the core of Facebook’s “well-being” problem is that its business is directly coupled with total time spent on its apps. The more hours you pass on the social network, the more ads you see and click, the more money it earns. That puts its plan to make using Facebook healthier at odds with its finances, restricting how far it’s willing to go to protect us from the harms of over use. The advertising-supported model comes with some big benefits, though. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has repeatedly said that “We will always keep Facebook a free service for everyone.” Ads lets Facebook remain free for those who don’t want to pay, and more importantly, for those around the world who couldn’t afford to. Ads pay for Facebook to keep the lights on, research and develop new technologies, and profit handsomely in a way that attracts top talent and further investment. More affluent users with more buying power in markets like the US, UK, and Canada command higher ad prices, effectively

So, when will your device actually get Android Oreo?

Google officially just took the wraps off of Android Oreo, but there are still some questions left to be answered — most notably, precisely when each device will be getting the latest version of the mobile operating system. Due to Android’s openness and a variety of different factors on the manufacturing side, it’s not an easy question to answer, but we’ll break it down best we can. First the good news: If your device was enrolled in the Android Beta Program, you’ll be getting your hands on the final version of the software “soon,” according to Google. Exactly what that means remains to be seen, but rest assured that you’ll be one of of the first people outside of Google to take advantage of picture-in-picture, notification dots and the like. No big surprise, Google handsets will be the first non-beta phones to get the update. The Pixel, Nexus 5X and 6P are at the top of the list, alongside Pixel C tablet and ASUS’s Nexus Player set-top box, which will be receiving the upgrade i

Engineering against all odds, or how NYC’s subway will get wireless in the tunnels

Never ask a wireless engineer working on the NYC subway system “What can go wrong?” Flooding, ice, brake dust, and power outages relentlessly attack the network components. Rats — many, many rats — can eat power and fiber optic cables and bring down the whole system. Humans are no different, as their curiosity or malice strikes a blow against wireless hardware (literally and metaphorically). Serverless software deployment to the cloud, this is not. New York City officially got wireless service in every underground subway station a little more than a year ago, and I was curious what work went into the buildout of this system as well as how it will expand in the future. That curiosity is part of a series of articles I’ve written on an observed pattern known as cost disease, the massively inflating costs of basic human services like health care, housing, infrastructure, and education. The United States spends trillions of dollars on each of these fields, massively outspending sim
