How to increase the speed of USB?

Article on how to increase the speed of USB, westart with a warning. Do not believe the distributors of programs supposedly significantly increasing the speed of the USB-modem. The smallest, they will be simply useless, and it may well happen that after their launch from your computer you will have to remove various spyware. The speed of the USB modem can be increased, but certainly not by the amount that these scammed programs offer. But what factors influence the speed of 3G-modem, we will list below.

Dependency of USB bandwidth from Windows

As anyone knows, the operating roomthe Windows system artificially limits the throughput of USB-cards by at least 20%. To eliminate this trouble, we recommend the following. In the lower left corner of the desktop on the control panel, click "Start", then "Run". In the resulting command line, type the following command: "gpedit.msc". In the window that appears with the name "Group Policy", select sequentially: "Administrative Templates" - "Network" - "QoS Package Manager" - "Limit Backup Bandwidth". If you did everything correctly, the "Properties" window will appear in which you need to select the "Enabled" mode, and in the point where you specify the percentage of bandwidth of USB-media, enter 0, and then follow the standard: "Apply" - " OK". Thus, our 20% limitation is removed and USB-carriers will now work almost by a quarter more efficiently, that is, their speed will be as close as possible to the claimed manufacturers.

If you have Windows 7

The procedure for unlocking is somewhat differentin Windows 7. After clicking the "Start" button in the search window at the bottom ("Find Files and Folders"), type gpedit.msc, and then go to the editor section. In the "Policy" section we select "local computer", then "templates", "network" and get to the section of the package scheduler. And then, as usual: in the tab that appears, click "Enable" and set the parameters to 0% - then "Apply" and "OK." This is the main and, perhaps, the only way how to increase the speed of USB. All the rest are factors that somehow influence the connection speed.

Other factors affecting the speed of USB-drives

The speed of the USB modem can be quite strongdepend on finding nearby so-called GPRS-towers or antennas. Accordingly, the closer the antenna, the higher the speed. It should be remembered that the farther from the city, the fewer such towers, so the connection speed may be lower than stated. And one more factor that affects the speed of USB-carriers, is the weather. If there is precipitation in the street, heavy clouds or fog, then, most likely, the USB speed will also be slightly lower than usual, although there are exceptions.
