(I came here before(just after i switched to plusnet) nothing could be done.../was done.)
Which is why i'd like to know if it's worth getting the pro feature?
(Before with talk talk my ping was better, but ofcourse that was dsl, with low donwload/upload) Which is something i don't need just ping.
Thanks.

Is the pro option going to make any difference or not?
Thanks.

not a lot of difference but depends on Your connection , it just prioritizes you games its dont improve your ping
samsung 850evo 250gig , WD black 2 TB . Asus Phoebus sound ,
16 gig Avexir ram 2400 , water cooling Corsair H100i gtx ,
Corsair 750HXI Psu , Phanteks Enthoo pro case .

Ok thanks for the response above^ if nothing else works i'll give it ago.
I would like interleaving turned off. If anyone replies that is.

There isn't any need for you to have the Pro Add On when you're on the Unlimited Package, the Traffic Management set for your product should prioritise Gaming.
Your line is erroring a bit which may be the reason you're having a few problems gaming. Interleaving is off at the moment, but if your line continues to error it'll likely turn itself on - that's not a bad thing. Although Interleaving increases your ping slightly, you shouldn't really notice it, it'll make your gaming quality much better as Interleaving will be correcting those errors.
Unfortunately we don't have any control over when DLM takes action on your line, which includes Interleaving being applied. Aside from gaming, does your connection appear fine? I've attached some details from your line.

Although thats not a problem, only the ping being this high is for me, i really don't mind up/download speed.
Ok it's been reset now.

Thanks.

I would leave everything on and give the line time to settle for, perhaps a week or so and if you're still having problems, let us know.

Also reporting back on my connection it has been better since you said to wait for the line to settle... Not sure if you changed anything but pings have been better and my speeds are not spiking anymore...
I have some electrical work being done at our house between wednesday to friday, which is why i ask now, because the power will be going off a few times and i'd like to stay or switch back to this if possible after.
Thanks.

Today has been much worse, maybe the reset gave a short term boost.
I will be switching from extension to the master socket within the next few days i will report back after that.

Are you using wireless? If so try connecting by ethernet.
