Enhanced Browsing Speed Tweak
It is possible to tweak your Microsoft Windows operating system’s settings so that your Internet connection and your browser can be optimized giving an enhanced browsing speed.
Please note that any changes you make are directly associated with the registry settings; I therefore recommend that you do this in one uninterrupted sitting, possibly either making notes or taking screenshots at intervals if necessary.
1. Click on START menu (bottom left-hand corner of screen).
2. Click on RUN, and then type in “gpedit.msc”. Click on ENTER.
3. Click on ADMINISTRATIVE TEMPLATES under COMPUTER CONFIGURATION.
4. Click on NETWORK under ADMINISTRATIVE TEMPLATES.
5. Click on QOS PACKET SCHEDULERS under NETWORK.
Look at LIMIT RESERVABLE BANDWIDTH in the right-hand column. Under the STATE column (on the same row as and to the right of LIMIT RESERVABLE BANDWIDTH) you should find the entry NOT CONFIGURED. This means that Windows operating system is still using the default settings, i.e. keeping 20% of the total bandwidth available for itself.
6. Double-click on LIMIT RESERVABLE BANDWIDTH. In the window that opens up, check the ENABLED option and reduce the percentage selector drop-down box to 0%.
7. Click on APPLY to keep the newly tweaked settings.
8. Click on OK.
Restart your computer; once you log in you should experience an enhanced browsing speed.
Bear in mind that this is only one tweak of many to enhance the Windows operating system, in this particular case it works on maximising your existing browsing speed. Note that it doesn’t do magic and make the Mozilla Firefox browser any faster!
