Increasing Band-Width by 2O%

Welcome!

Thanks for sharing. What does it do? What does it give extra bandwidth to?

It has something to do with "Quality of service" (QoS)

I wonder if this actually does anything at all. Let us know!

It does absolutely nothing, unless you are connected to a network service that uses QoS.
So in the end, you are not going to increase your bandwidth by 20% or even 0.000001%

I say again, QoS only reserves that 20% if you have [active] network services that are QoS aware.

Now this is very useful if you do say online gaming or voIP. QoS will make sure there is enough bandwidth reserved to keeps those services running smoothly. This keeps other users on the same network from disrupting them too much. Not that they cannot, QoS ask for reservation it does not demand.

Thanks logic, that's what I thought.

Hello Ianree, and welcome to Seven Forums. Thank you for sharing.


You're right Logicearth. It doesn't do anything unless you use QoS like that. You can read more about it here as well.

You're most welcome Ianree. :)
