whats the difference between your way pro and Plusnet extra with pro add on?

hi, hopefully a quick one, my exchange got upgraded today, yay, i know have adsl2+ and am getting approx12mb connection on day one instead of 7gb so bit of an uplift, fibre is no even on the cards for as long as we can see
iam thinking about signing up for a phone and BB deal with plusnet and i currently have your way pro 20gb for £20 / mth
whats the difference if i was to change to plusnet extra with the pro add on to my current package in terms of speed and ping etc.
i know it is 60gb instread of 20 gb allowance but i am really reluctant to change from your way pro as its no longer available and its always been great
cheers

that was a quick one, Thanks Oldjim, how funny the day after i get upgraded and the day before my bill is due i go over my 20gb usage allowance and i'm back to 128k.
i have added another Gb but dhouldnt be needing it in the future if i change to the new package
cheers

hi again,
i have transferred from your way pro to extra with pro add on.
is it just coincidence but my pings have increased from 17 to around 30
would i need to turn off interleaving again or is that nothing to do with it
cheers

Odd - interleaving shouldn't be affected by a product change
If you do a tracert to ntp.plus.net what do you get
This is from an interleaved line
Tracing route to ntp.plus.net [212.159.13.49] over a maximum of 30 hops:

hi, thanks for promt reply, tace below, i compared the test on an online speedtest program, are they unreliable as far as ping is concerned, these look pretty good.i think ?

With those times you aren't interleaved- speedtest.net is definitely unreliable if that is what you are using
The program is Routerstats http://www.vwlowen.co.uk/internet/files.htm
