Wow, I hadn't thought my performance would reach nearly 1 gbps just by turning off a few services in the OS. I'm currently paying around 500 ish mbps with Comcast. Prior to disabling those services, I was usually hitting up to about 550 mbps at most. Now I'm consistently exceeding 900 mbps after removing the ones listed below. I didn't reach anything close to 900 mbps before, that's not even possible. Keep in mind, your setup plays a big role, so outcomes can differ. I own a brand new machine, and using a Cat6A Ethernet cable directly to the modem. It wasn't just my internet speed that improved—it's also made my whole computer run much smoother. I'm eager to see how this affected gaming performance.

I'm experiencing issues with my phone connection, which might have improved some bandwidth. However, the problem seems to affect more than just internet speed—it's impacting my whole computer as well. Everything is loading much quicker now, making it hard to believe the issue is tied to my phone line. It feels like I just got a new computer yesterday after turning off certain services.

Avoid using those tools unless necessary, as they might impact other users' work. If you're unsure about their purpose, refrain from interacting with them.

Certainly, it's straightforward to look up each option ahead of time. I question whether most regular users require any of the services mentioned, though if a feature fails they can simply turn it back on.

ISPs may offer increased rates during low-demand periods, though these often match the speeds they advertise. Running a speed test via an independent site such as dslreports.com can yield comparable results. On fast.com, be cautious—if the server is tied to your ISP, reported speeds might seem higher than actual performance. Switching to a server in a nearby city could alter the numbers. Take advantage of the temporary boost while it lasts!

Without any other windows running in the browser I experience the full 1.0 gbps speed as reported by Fast.com. When playing YouTube and Netflix videos together it varies between nearly 800 and 1.0 Mbps. That remains quite solid given the previous performance. It’s also 400 Mbps that I’m paying for. Usually I’ve received up to 450 Mbps. I’m hoping this trend continues indefinitely. Also, the increase isn’t limited to my internet—it affects the whole computer too. My programs are loading much quicker now, so I’m relying on this stability. With just Fast.com open: While streaming a YouTube and Netflix video:
