vennom11 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 As far I know Microsoft reserves 20% bandwidth of our internet connection. How to release that reserved bandwidth and increase internet speed? If anybody knows that please help me. I am using a slow speed internet connection of 256 KBps as microsoft reserves 20% of my bandwidth I am receiving approximately about 201 KBps. The internet connection speed is not steady in our region so I get only about 140-180 KBps. That gives me about 16 to 24 KBps download speed. If It is possible to reveal the reserved 20% bandwidth that will help me with my browsing and downloading experience. Please help me if you know something about this. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 The up to 20% is only reserved if called for - say if Windows Update specifically requests priority bandwidth. Otherwise you will always have 100% of bandwidth available to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vennom11 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Thanks for the information. One of my friend said that windows reserves 20% bandwidth for update and other purposes. However, I am facing low internet connection speed problem. That is why I am anxious about that reserved bandwidth. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
