    Microsoft Reserves 20

    Microsoft reserves 20% of available bandwidth by default for Windows updates and other processes, slowing internet speeds. Users can reclaim this bandwidth by opening the group policy editor, navigating to the Limit Reservable Bandwidth setting, enabling it, and setting the bandwidth limit to 0%. Doing so overrides the default 20% reservation and allows the full bandwidth to be used, potentially increasing internet speeds.

    Microsoft reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes like Windows Updates and

    interrogating your PC etc

    You can get it back:

    Click Start then Run and type "gpedit.msc" without quotes.This opens the group policy editor. Then go
    to:

    Local Computer Policy

    then Computer Configuration

    then Administrative Templates then Network then QOS Packet Scheduler and then to Limit Reservable
    Bandwidth.

    Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the
    'Explain' tab i.e."By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a
    connection, but you can use this setting to override the default."

    So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve
    nothing, rather than the default 20%.It works on Win 2000 as well.
