NetBalancer vs CFosSpeed

Recommended Posts

I'm searching for NetBalancer and cFosSpeed comparison but found nothing so far, therefore I'd kindly ask any members to share their experience on those network traffic shaping utilities.

If you do have experience with them please elaborate ... Thx.

I am a owner of some payed versions of cFosSpeed (I have a slow connection) and over the time I found out that it is more or less snake oil. Maybe it speeds up in one situation but in the next situation it makes problems / is slowing down (example = your vpn client interact with the server to find best transfer rate and cFos try to manipulate the internet settings In the opposite direction)

Talking about cFosSpeed. Sometimes I wonder if it actually works. Then I remember how bad internet surfing was without cFosSpeed when I used to seed and surf together here.

3. cFosSpeed (ASRock XFast LAN)

cFosSpeed is a well known commercial traffic shaping and balancing application. The full version costs $17 but it’s also often licensed to third party motherboard manufacturers like Asus, Gigabyte, MSI and ASRock. We’re looking at ASRock XFast LAN because it’s quite a recent cFosSpeed version. The only real difference from cFosSpeed itself is each vendor has its own custom UI skins.

 

cFosSpeed does not limit traffic to a specific speed like NetBalancer or TMeter can. Instead, it prioritizes internet traffic so important programs can have a higher priority. There are hundreds of built-in presets for different types of programs. For example, VOIP and streaming software is set to a higher priority along with many games. Other software like P2P clients, download managers and game portals (Steam, Origin etc) are set lower.
