How to increase your internet connection speed for wow. (a better way)

Although DNS pinging works, it still doesnt bring out that boost you really need.

Windows it self reserves 20% of YOUR bandwith, with some very simple tweaks you can get that extra 20% in your favor.

If you are running vista HOME PREMIUM or HOME BASIC then use this method:

Now for XP and any other vistas:
http://astahost.com/info.php/increas...nt_t12273.html

The reason it doesnt work on vista home premium is because on those editions of vista the GPedit.exe is not present.

no matter which method you use, enabling tcpackfrequency in your windows registry, highly reduces your latency in World of Warcraft, Overall online browsing, And alot of other online games.
Simply run this script, you can check it, there is no malicous codes or anything. Check it if you dont belive me.
Im giving you this script because some people do not understand how to regedit and may screw up there computer.

So to enable tcpackfrequency: download http://files.racs.com.au/_WOW/SetAckTick.vbs
and then simply run it.

here is the real deal:

QUOTE

This applies to Windows 2000 SP4, XP Professional + 2003.
Does NOT apply to Windows 2000 Pre-SP2 or XP Home.
Unfortunately this so called "bug" and its "fix" are just another urban
myth. :-(


THE MYTH:

It seems Microsoft reserves/wastes 20% of your internet/network bandwidth for
the QoS (Quality of Service) Packet Scheduler, even if this service is
disabled.
To increase your overall bandwidth do this:
1. Log in as Administrator.
2. Click the Start button -> Run -> type gpedit.msc -> hit Enter or click OK.
3. Go to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Network -> QoS
Packet Scheduler.
4. In the right hand pane double-click on "Limit reservable bandwidth".
5. On the Setting tab check the Enabled box.
6. Change "Bandwidth limit %" to read 0.
7. Click OK and close gpedit.msc.
8. Go to Start -> My Computer -> My Network Connections -> View Network
Connections -> right-click on your connection -> select Properties (where your
protocols are listed) -> make sure QoS Packet Scheduler is enabled.
9. Reboot for these changes to take effect.



THE TRUTH:

Microsoft does NOT reserve NOR use ANY amount/percentage of your bandwidth for
the QoS Packet Scheduler, UNLESS the QoS service is actively
transmitting/receiving ANY data/packets between your computer (which MUST use
a QoS aware program) and the QoS enabled internet/network.
This is achieved through a series of PATH and RESV refresh messages sent back
and forth over the connection.
Therefore this is NOT a "bug" and its so called "fix" above is NOT necessary!
Learn more about QoS from the "horse's mouth":
- MSKB: Windows XP QoS Enhancements and Behavior:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=316666
- MSKB: QoS Traffic Control in Windows 2000:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=233203
- MSKB: Description of Reservation State in RSVP:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=244910


FYI:
"This does NOT increase bandwidth whatsoever, UNLESS your network
administrator (I have yet to find any companies using QoS) is running on a QoS
enabled network, and in this case you want it enabled anyway, to allow your PC
to take advantage of this service of higher quality packets."


sorry to the author. - its not personal. but... keep it real.

personally i disagree with the above poster.
Because my latency has gone down 150ms.

Im actually able to dualbox now.
So instead of posting, why not give it a shot!

I did the TCPackfrequency edit myself in the registry (Vista 64 here) and my MS went from like 150-175 to like 40ms....I did this like back in August

So take it as you will.

Because running downloaded scripts and making registry changes are not something I do just to "give it a shot".

I read the links. Did you? I posted the rebuttal to the 20% bandwidth reserved myth you posted and it was from one of the links you provided.
Typing in all caps doesn't make your point more valid in any way.

But I guess [url='http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=198589&highlight=#pos t198589']this[/url] says everything that needs to be said.
