The pro package has no effect on speed tests only on protocols which are traffic managed.such as download sites, download servers, P2P and possibly unrecognised games

can you give a bit more information please?
What package are you on?
How fast do you get?
What is your sync speed of the router?
What do you mean "drops by 2mbps?" - we talking you get 10meg in the day and 8meg between 5pm and 10pm?
PRO gives you the best priority over the Plusnet network, Plusnet cant do anything about excessive congestion across the BT exchange (which would be what is happening if the above is true)
Regards

try running speedtest.net 3 times in a row and see if all the results are the same ,ive had results varying from 500 to 5000 and iam on a 2500 profile
bt speed tester seems a bit off at times since the upgrade was done on it about a week or two ago
the other thing to try is when you get a slow result try to download a file and see what sort of speed you get
it might be a problem with your adsl but its good to eliminate strange speed test reding 1st
