it uses %20 of your network bandwidth wich means it wont even affect you unless you are using 81% or more of your full duplex 10/100/1000mb /s

Just tried it out, it appears to be disabled originally. Why would enabling it, then turning it to zero do anything?

because if it's disabled or not set to anything it's going to be default 20% reserved so if you enable and turn it to 0 it won't go to 20% default

I have the feeling that for most people, this "trick" will do no good. It seems like a lot of the tricks there were back in the dial-up days (sorry for those of you still in that time!) that never worked because you can't increase bandwidth if you're already capped.

QoS is a good thing to have though because it can significantly decrease lag. Setting it up in your router will help out a lot with that, without really affecting bandwidth that much (if at all).

With dial-up, there was no capping because you were limited by the speed of the connection so whatever you got was the limit of the technology and the only way to go faster is to wait for the next best thing in modem technology and upgrade to it. However, now we have communication medium capable of 3 Mbps (Internet over cellular networks) or 1000 Mbps (wired LAN) so all you need to do to get a speed upgrade is to get your Internet Service Provider to increase the cap.

However, there still is a lot that you can do in terms of data compression. You can use Opera's Turbo mode to route your traffic through Opera's servers which compress the data before sending it to you, essentially improving the speed of your connection from end-to-end without causing increased traffic along the connection that your modem has to your ISP.

Never heard of that but I'll look into it. Wouldn't that increase ping though, thus making it less efficient? You'd need the data to go 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 2 -> 1 instead of just 1 -> 2 -> 1
