It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the ‘Explain‘ tab: “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.

I had this issue and tried all possible help but all resulted in vain. Your trick worked very well and my BSNL Broadband UL 750+ is speeding like anything. But, the issue was continuing in mobile, which I use to access internet using WiFi. So I just went ahead and applied the same DNS setting in my WiFi router itself. Now all of us (myself, Laptop and my mobile) are happy. I had actually planned to go to BSNL office and thought of closing this connection. Thanks a lot, thank you very much Amit. Hi Amit,
