This is a nice little tweak to get 20% of bandwidth back.Microsoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes (suspect for updates and interrogating your machine etc..).
-
Click Start–>Run–>type “gpedit.msc” without the ”
- This opens the group policy editor. Then go to
Local Computer Policy–>Computer Configuration–>Administrative Templates–>
Network–>QOS Packet Scheduler–>Limit Reservable Bandwidth - Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will
say it is not configured, but the truth is under the
‘Explain’ tab :“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%. -
works on XP Pro, 2000 and 2003 but not sure about
other o/s’s.

This myth was debunked years ago. I found a tweakxp article regarding this that dates back to 2003.
I hope this clears up any confusion
This wont increase your internet speed by 20%. Even M$ is not stupid enough to do something like this.
And you are one lucky guy to have 1mbps broadband.
1 mbps in the office yaar, wish I had same thing at my room also
