Towards your left side of the screen, click on “Administrative Templates” on Computer Configuration and select “Network”. You can now click on “QoS packet scheduler” and then click on “limit reservable bandwidth.” Change the options to “enabled” and change the bandwidth limit to zero (0) percent. This will now increase your internet speed by 20–30 percent.

2. Followed by the above steps, Reset the Windows network sockets. An operating system uses network sockets to send information through a network. To reset the network sockets, go to “run” and type “cmd” to execute the command and prompt program. Now you can type “netsh winsock reset” and press “enter.” And restart your machine.

3. Now this step should increase the speed on Internet Explorer. Open the command and prompt program, type “regsvr32 actxprxy” and press “enter.” This will increase the speed of Internet Explorer by about 10 percent.

4. Open your default Internet browser, and surf the web to test the performance of your Internet connection.
