Hi All,
I read somewhere here on the guide, that you need Qos enaballed and set to 0%. When using broardband is this correct, on a standalone system.

Thanks,
kfh.

Enter your group policies and enable the Qos and set it too %0.

By default it uses %20, so this will remove that setting.

it'l be under local computer policy/computer configuration/network settings/Qos scheduler.

Hi iisbob,
Thanks for that.
Is there a good speed test for checking before and after results, Before I do any changes. I've done a google search but there's to many to chose from.

PS. I've just downloaded a 30Mb file in twelve mins.
At an average speed between 42-45kbsec does this sound about right.

Thanks,
kfh.

I haven't tried the Qos tweak yet. Shouldn't it be 42-45 KB not kb. 42-45 kb is average for a 56k dialup MODEM. 42-45KB=336,000-360,000kb or 336-360k. The kb is case sensitive kb = kilobits KB = kilobytes. 1 byte = 8 bits.To get your bits per second for 45K you need to multiply 45 X 1000 to get bytes than multiply by 8 to change bytes to bits (45 X 1000) X 8 = 360,000 bits per second. The IEEE has suggested following the convention of using a small k for a decimal kilo and a capital K for a binary kilo because data throughput is measured in decimal it should be a k but this convention is seldom followed the K is acceptable but the B for bytes and b for bits needs to be used. Whether 45KB is good or not depends on the connection speed that you are paying for if your service is 384k it is good but if your service is 1.5Mb (megabit) it is very bad if you are paying for 512k it is average. A good site to check your connection speed is broadband reports.com (http://www.dslreports.com/tools)
