Microsoft reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes like Windows Updates and interrogating your PC etc
To 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.
