XP Pro: Reserving 0% for QoS

XP Pro sets aside 20% of your bandwidth for QoS.

Reserving 0% bandwidth for QoS-aware programs in Windows XP Pro can boost your broadband speed by 20%. Results will vary and may not work at all for some people. The tweak can be found at TweakXP.com.

My general rule would be that if your speeds are over 80% of your cap, then this isn't affecting you. If you are getting below 80% of your cap, it may help you.
