Change The Limit Reservable Bandwidth & Increase Your Browsing Speed
In general, bandwidth is the rate at which data travels between devices. Bandwidth is controlled by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). However, there exist some settings in Windows, by configuring which you limit the reservable bandwidth for your system.
By Default, Windows reserves 80% of your network bandwidth for its application to operate entirely. By configuring the Group Policy, you can quickly set a limit on the bandwidth. This article will guide you stepwise, how to access or open up the reservable bandwidth on your Windows 10/8.
Step 1: Press down Windows Key + R and run gpedit.msc to open the Local Group Policy Editor.
Group Policy Editor is not available for all version of Windows.
Step 2: Explore Here:
Computer Configuration -> Administrative -> Network -> Qos Packet Scheduler
Step 3: Then open “Limit Reservable Bandwidth” from right side
Then Just Enable it and then change its value from 80 to 20 And press Apply & click on OK to save settings.

What does Limit Reserve Bandwidth mean?
This policy setting restricts the percentage of bandwidth that your system can maintain. This value limits the bandwidth reservations of all the running programs. By default, It limits the system to 80% of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default. If you enable, you can use the “Bandwidth limit” box to adjust the amount of bandwidth the system can reserve. If you disable or keep default settings, It uses the default value of 80%. If you set Bandwidth limit for a unique network from the registry, the setting is ignored while configuring that network.
QOS (Quality of Service)
The Microsoft Windows stores a fixed percentage of bandwidth for the Quality of Services like System updates, license renewal and other services. Thus, when you change the limit to 20%, It will affect the activities like Automatic Updates. If a QoS application reserves more bandwidth than the unused, reserved bandwidth is available for other applications. It does not confirm that the bandwidth will be accessible to the QoS-aware application because programs that aren't QoS-aware may consume too much bandwidth.
