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,
