Basically GPEDIT is your local Group Policy Editor. You can use it lock down several things on your machine for certain users etc, but really it's not widely used at a local level.
The instructions will allow you to do everything it says, but it will not make a difference I can assure you of that. The only time you would need to do this would be if someone had restricted it.
The maximum bandwidth your machine can take is down to what networking device you're connecting with.
