I need reduce my Network Speed hiddenly can i do it?

Hi!
I need to reduce my computer internet speed 50%, but i want do it hidden. So can i do it without using software, or are there any software for that.

Thanks!

If you want to do this in hardware, then you need a router with QoS reservation support. Try the Cisco RV series.

Linux-based software routers can do the same thing if you're handy with virtualization.

Fiddling with your DNS settings will not do what you want.

Your internet speed is slow, want to tweak internet speed BUT your operating system isWindows XP
Professional.Bydefault, the PacketScheduler of Windows XP Pro limits the system to 20 percent of the
bandwidth of a connection, but you can usethis setting to override the default.That packet isQoS(
Quality of service)forWindows XP.This packet may not be often used, so Why don’t we change the setting
to tweak internet speed.

Determines the percentage of connection bandwidth that the system can reserve.This value limits the combined
bandwidth reservations of all programs running on the system.If you enable the setting, you can use the
“Bandwidth limit” box to adjust the amount of bandwidth the system can reserve.If you disable this setting or
donot configure it, the system uses the default value of 20 percent of the connection.

ButIf a bandwidth limit issetfor a particular network adapter in the registry,this setting is ignored
when configuring that network adapter.

Here step by step to TUNE UP your bandwith limit inWindows XP >Group policy :

1.Go to “RUN”and type : gpedit.msc

tweak internet speed - gpedit.msc

2.AdministrativeTemplates>Network>QoSPacketScheduler

tweak internet speed -QoS packet

3.DoubleClick>“LimitReservableBandwith”

4.LimitReservableBandwith>Enabled,Bandwith limit 20% change to >0%

tweak internet speed - change bandwith limit

5. click OK,andRestart your connection.

Please let us know if that helps.

Its not work for me! Nothing change!

Actually this is the problem, if my collage friends come to my house, they use my internet connection more than 3 hours, so they eat my time. So i need to show i have slow connection.
