Odd, I get the full 240k/sec on my connection at all times and I've never fiddled with it? Or the settings. Ooer.

The more I think about it, the more I think that this depends on how you are connected to the internet.

If you are connected 'directly' to the internet, ie via dialup or usb modem etc, then windows will see your actual connection speed and so you will be increasing the bandwidth allocated to that

If you are connected to a router, then windows will only see the speed you am connected to the router, and not the speed that the router is connected to the internet. So, for me, windows can see that I'm connected at 54mb on this laptop. If I use this method, i'll be freeing up 20% of the 54mb, and not the 8mb internet speed? And as \"54mb-20%\" still is greater than 8mb, you wont notice any/much difference?

So, i'm thinking that for me, this will only have a really noticable affect on internet network file transfers? Am I right, or have I misunderstood?


Still a great little trick tho!

Speed test . net. mmmmm
i think speedtest is a awful site to monitor your speed from.
i get better results to the New York and Moscow server than to the London
server and im only 90 miles from it.

Robin Walkers cable modem pages.... (search for it)

now thats very good.. :D
