    yeah it is most useful for me, but i think this technique is old one, because i have one more technique

    goto – > Run – > gpedit.msc
    in that filed under computer configuration select administrative template
    now you can see on right side “network” select it then select”Qos Packet scheduler ” in that filed select limit reservable bandwidth select enable and set into 0..

    after that surely you can better speed in internet..

    From regedit – the Key entry – “HKEY_CURRENT_USER –> Software –> Microsoft –> Windows –> Current Version –> Internet Settings” has multiple entries (ex: 5.0, Activities, Cache, Connections, etc),
    Which entry do you change ?
