Pro is good, but to be fair the whole reason of me choosing Pro in the first place was because of the fancy website that doesnt even seem to exist anymore, which was hyping it up. Broadband your way for gamers.. blablabla. Why doesnt that site even exist anymore anyway? Interesting.
My pings in games used to be alot lower than they are now so I dont know what Plusnet ever changed.
So with my pings ingame just being normal, the same as my local friends using standard BT broadband and other similar.. I just dont see the point of being on Pro anymore. Especially when during the day time its beginning to be quite boring, unable to watch streaming videos as I please and other stuff, due to only having 20gb usage. So meh.
Im thinking I may aswel just go onto the Premium package, with 80gb usage. But I hear things that speeds are slower in the afternoons and stuff... Does that mean my pings in game will be high? Or is online gaming just the same experience on Pro and Premium?
Id like to know the actual difference in them both, I am a keen online gamer thats the main thing I use my internet for, so the quality has to be good. Will premium be alright for me or not?
Could someone please write down the differences, and any bad things about them both and stuff..... and yeah duno what else to ask for but tell me everything lol

The differences you might notice, though, would be in things like downloading files from content distribution networks, Usenet, P2P and so forth. With Pro, all traffic is given priority irrespective of type, whereas with Premium certain activities are slowed down during peak times to stop them hogging too much bandwidth. This page will tell you what kind of speeds you can expect on Premium. Also worth bearing in mind is that PN are currently experiencing a number of issues that're causing speed problems for some people; such problems are probably more noticeable on Premium compared to Pro owing to the lesser priority Premium is given.

pc gamers are more likely to need pro due to the wide range of ports ect, where consoles dont as the console tend to use the same port
as for switching before your billing date that would of been somthing i said go chat to jameseh about
