For those that don't know, the quality of service additions to TCP/IP 
reserve a portion (20%) of all your network connection's bandwidth. 
This isn't as bad as it sounds at first - let me explain: Quality of 
Service is designed to provide applications that need guaranteed 
transmission of data with the ability to reserve space on a network 
for 
themselves - examples of applications that need this could be video or 
internet telephone systems. 
If you are not running any services that need to use QOS then the 
space "reserved" for QOS is not used. In the event you are running a 
service that can take advantage of QOS, it can reserve a percentage of 
your bandwidth if it needs it. If nothing needs QOS then the bandwidth 
that would otherwise be reserved for QOS apps is available to all 
things that want it.
Despite what various places might claim, turning this figure down or 
off will not make your network games run faster on a normal home 
connection, nor will it speed up general internet surfing. For the 
average user, playing with this setting will not do anything to make 
your system run faster or "better". Having said all that, if you still 
want to change the setting here is how to do it.
Open the start menu, click Run and type in gpedit.msc then hit enter. 
The Group Policy Editor MMC snap-in will open. Open Computer 
Configuration, then expand Administrative Templates, QoS Packet 
Scheduler.
Double click Limit reservable bandwidth and select "Enabled" and then 
set your bandwidth limit as desired, say 1% instead of the default 
20%. 
Don't leave it on disabled, because the disabled setting doesn't 
mean "disable QoS" it means "Disable custom setting of QoS values". 
Got 
that? So disabling it doesn't disable the setting, it disables your 
ability to change the setting. If you have a headache and need to lie 
down now, I won't blame you. Similarly, the "not configured" setting 
means "Leave this as whatever is set on the computer already", and 
what 
is set on the computer already is the default setting of "20%".
