Tried and tested method of improving DayZ connection.

[Pazzmon 64]

1.) log on as Administrator. 

2.) start - run - type gpedit.msc 

3.) expand "local computer policy" 

4.) then expand "administrative templates" 

5.) then expand "network branch" 

6.) Highlight/double click the "QoS Packet Scheduler" 

7.) on right window double click "limit reservable bandwidth" 

8.) on setting tab check the "enabled" 

9.) change "Bandwidth limit %" to 0 

You're done.It would be a good idea to reboot after this.

 

Basically it frees up the reserved bandwidth kept for the OS. Mine, was at a staggeringly high 80% which is no suprise as to why my DayZ experience was so poor.

Doesn't alter ping and it's low ping what you need unless your on adsl or something slow (over subscription from your isp) it'll make little/no difference.

I'm on ADSL broadband, unfortunately high speed broadband will not be released in central Wales for a long time. :D

Any bad effects?

Not felt any or seen any just yet, will be testing out torrent speeds soon, not witnessed any system destability just yet, but will carry on testing this  method for the next few days. I'm always posting on the forums so if I don't turn up in the next few days, I've brokken something. ;)
