To answer the questions asked...
Is 20 GB Enough for gaming?
Yes, currently, although online gaming everynight and hosting a gaming server over the connection total usage is rarely over 10Gb per month. Extra allowance is never to be sniffed at as my orginal 15Gb Pro package was upgraded to 20Gb although I never have reached the previous 15Gb amount.
For people who game, but struggle with the allowance I am curious how much of the actual usage is made up from gaming rather than other web activities?

How about letting a user switch between profiles - Extra and Pro with separate allowances on each. Even if the marginal cost for Extra was added to the Pro subscription.
I think the original idea was to let users go onto the Pro priority for a limited period by paying a premium for that time

however its not in plusnet's financial interest to increase its internet byte by byte usage
and from what I've read this month from staff posts nothing is going to change
and I would like to see a minimum of 60 GB on all plusnet's products
I wouldn't pay more than an extra £5 though whatever was offered
the internet ISP(s) are regressive as I got far more then , than I do now for just £5 more each month

Why isn't the Pro package just an extra £5 or £10 ontop of the Extra package? £10 seems reasonable to be free of the traffic shaping
However, as it is currently, I can testify that the 20GB usage limit is the single reason I'm not upgrading to Pro. How many other customers are staying on Extra for the same reason?
I'm not an extremely heavy user, I don't download massive amounts of data during the day yet my usage seems to wander between 20-40GB a month. I think it's very unreasonable to charge extra to give people less, regardless of whether they can use it faster or not
It's like paying to use a fast lane on a motorway, but then only being allowed to travel 5 miles before you can't go any further - not even using the regular lanes - without paying an extra £5 per mile
Sounds like a very bad deal to me

That sounds like a better deal for customers, and a far better package overall, IMO

Is 20Gb enough? I dunno, I get 13Gb and find that perfectly adequate and yes, I have been known to download a lot each month. What you are asking for is unrestricted allowance to download lots of files, it has nothing to do with gaming (except maybe downloading updates, patches, games from steam - not gaming relating, downloads). If 20Gb isn't enough for you, switch to the 60Gb package, your actual gaming won't suffer (priority/linespeed remember).
So, from a gaming point of view, who cares about download allowance, it's ping that matters.

Pro is available for £26.49 an month with a 30GB allowance if you are on a market 3 exchange (and if one month you use less than 25GB they'll give you a £5 discount!).
