It seems fair to me that if I am willing to pay for speed, that I should not be slowed down by people who feel entitled to unlimited speed when they pay for unlimited data. I pay $100/month for 10GB of data (more than 3x what you pay) so I also get the full speed for all of my data. You pay $30 per month for your unlimited data, and you get unlimited data, just not unlimited speed. But you don't even wait for that, not even 3GB.VERY UNFAIR, VERY DIRTY TACTICS. In your website states that smartphone owners may get throttle at 5GB. Sometimes I am not even at the 2.5 GB mark and you have slowed me down. But to the ones that have paid for many years an unlimited service, you are throttling their data to crawling speeds. Unfortunately, it only applies when “uploading” data (not downloading).All of sudden your network is not congested anymore because now you can profit from the new customers and double their data. These instructions can be adapted for any program that you discover is using too much in the way of bandwidth. You may need to wait a few minutes for the policy to take effect (a reboot may be required).
“Any IP Address” is fine for both options. The value should be set to “onedrive.exe” (for all users) or “C:\Users\ yourusername\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe” (for a specific user). At this data rate, a 20Mb file should take around 30 minutes to upload.Įnsure that “Only applications with the executable name” is checked. In my example, 10 Kbps is rather extreme (but it is useful for testing the settings are working). From the “Action Menu” => “Create a new policy”.Ĭomplete the wizard using the input I have set out below. Within the Policy Editor main window, navigate to: User Configuration => Windows Settings => Policy Based QoS. To begin, you will need to logon to your workstation with an administrator account.įire up the local Group Policy Editor: Windows Start => Search Box => gpedit.msc (hit “Return” on the keyboard) Sadly, the OneDrive app itself doesn’t contain any settings to limit the upload speed, but it is possible to address this issue via group policy on the local machine.
During the upload process, even basic web surfing can be almost impossible.
If you are on a relatively slow internet connection, it can be frustrating when Microsoft OneDrive takes up the majority of the bandwidth when it is syncing to the cloud.
