Every month now i'm finding i'm easily exceeding the 20gb limit. How are you finding only working with 20gb?
Being a Professional package, why is the cap not set to 30gb or 40gb these days? With HD content widely available online, why should so called Pro Customers suffer?
Are there any plans to review this rather small amount of data?
Thanks

I have the Value package at just 10G, and if you look at my profile, I am not exactly a mild user.
You can always get the Extra package at 60G, just a few priority changes

I fully understand why they have capped the Pro package, but really 30gb would be more suitable.
I shouldn't have to change package because PN can't keep up with times . This is an HD content era.

I don't use the computer all all during these times. Most of my usage is between 6pm-10 Mon to Fri, 7pm-11pm Sat and maybe on Sun 6pm-10pm.
I'm having to pay for an extra 5-10gb per month.
I don't sit on P2P downloading at all. I don't download film, i hardly download music form iTunes.
It's simple, 20gb just doesn't cut it these days.

I'm on PAYG with 15GB allowance. I'm also running the SamKnows monitoring which uses around 2GB of the 15GB.
I've NEVER gone over.
20GB is far more than I (as an intensive user) would ever need.

I've used 12gb so far this month (21 days). About 33% of that is gaming, 15% P2P and 40% web. The p2p is probably the updates for my ACE pack for Arma 2.
This month is probably going to be ok. I'm just saying, this is their "PRO" tariff, which should really in my opinion include more that 20gb.
Billing Period Paid-for usage Free usage Total usage
18 Dec - 18 Jan 34.93GB 279.84MB 35.21GB
18 Nov - 18 Dec 31.68GB 321.81MB 32.01GB
18 Oct - 18 Nov 14.07GB 193.48MB 14.26GB

Quote from: squirrel Well the reason for going pro is for the low latency.
The package you are on makes no difference to your latency as it relates to your connection and not your allowances.
Known gaming is treated the same on all packages - that is it is unrestricted so Extra will be exactly the same as Pro. The only benefit pro has* is new games will not be restricted when they first come out whereas the other packages have to wait until PN add the necessary detections in their routers to classify it as gaming traffic.
* plus all transfers are at line speed including p2p, streaming and download servers
