This is a re-post of the thread I made that I can't find.

Disable bandwidth limit in Windows 7: Speed up your internet!

The other article said to restart your computer after doing these steps.

Of course i love the first thing after the start of the article:

Tip:
A common believe is that Windows takes 20% of your bandwidth and reserves it. Of course, this is not true! Disabling the bandwidth limit will not magically speed up your internet, it will simply not allow Windows-related tasks that require bandwidth (e.g. Windows Updates) to reserve bandwidth when they need it.

Not sure how many other tasks i need to worry about but since i dont allow auto updates (i like to look through each one) anything but the windows updates you cant control, yes such a thing, not so much a worry.
