I'm sure the eagle-eyed amongst you will have noticed that we have been hinting at a new product recently.
Well, Broadband Your Way Pro is now here!
Aimed primarily at gamers, Pro gives you 10GB prioritised traffic per month, with free overnight usage, for £19.99.
Any questions, please give us a shout.

Could you give a comparison between BBYW Pro and BBYW Option 3? Is it only that gaming traffic is the highest priority, and there's 10Gb less transfer a month?

On Pro all traffic is prioritised, whatever you use the 10GB for. It's similar in experience terms as our old PAYG product.
So it's essentially a trade off, on Option 3 you get more usage with some restrictions, on Pro you get less usage but no restrictions.
Horses for courses really.

This house is usage-hungry, so I think I'll be staying with Option 3 for now

Quote Traffic prioritisation
Time-sensitive traffic prioritised to give the best experience
Which implies that not all traffic is prioritised as stated earlier. I am always wary of traffic prioritisation due to the fact my gaming usage is most often listed as web usage.
Quote Broadband Firewall
Secure your system from intrusion
Does this mean you will be updating your Firewall to allow users more control? (e.g. for setting up game servers)

Pre paid usage is charged at £1.50 per 2GB, or £1.80 post paid.
There's currently no changes planned in the Broadband Firewall and all usage witll be prioritised as at least "gold" with gaming and VoIP traffic in "titanium".

Quote from: Spider Sorry I thought Gaming was in the Titanium traffic at all times as per your website. My concern is that gaming traffic is not correctly identified by your systems.
I believe you mean the track my usage system? That's just a rough guide that you can use to get an estimate of what is being used where. If it's a popular game/they have the port numbers used by it, im sure that it gets identified correctly.

You can check if your gaming traffic is being correctly identified by doing a wireshark capture. There is some information towards the bottom on how to analyse the results.
