I've read a couple of tweak advises claiming that you can boost your internet connection by following this guide:
http://www.speedguide.net/Cable_modems/cable_reg_xp.shtml
Now I wonder if this tweak is highly overestimated ?
My connection is 256/128 kbps and my home network runs @ 100mbps through a switch to my cablemodem. That means I will never use more than average 0.25% of my link speed (checked it with Windows Task Manager|Networking) so what the heck that some application theoretically reserves 20% of my network speed when there's 80% (=80mbps) left for other tasks !
Maybe it looks different for very slow home networks (10mbit) combined with VERY fast internet connections (>2mbps). Or if you connect your modem directly to an USB port ?
Please feel free to post if you have experienced an increase with this tweak...
Have a nice day
