Might try it, seeing as though it goes by a 1 month contract.
Thanks.

If you are on an unlimited product it's of minimal or no benefit and a waste of money. In some circumstances it's affects are detrimental.
There's a number of topics on here discussing this.

The DSCP value when receiving packets (web traffic) with the pro add on is CS5, without the pro add on web traffic was CS4, so why is my download speed lower than before!?
Line speed is still the same at 78Mbps, and no amount of gateway hopping helps.
I have only just enabled the add on, so I will give it a month and decide after doing more stuff i.e. VPN, gaming and downloading.

Outgoing is being classified as EF, so I hope that is being kept all the way to the end point.

I am actually finding that thing's do load quicker due to the higher priority, but I am questioning PN's traffic prioritisation, as when they refer to silver, gold and titanium, does this relate to setting the DSCP for different traffic types? As at the moment everything inbound is being marked CS5, and outbound specifically web traffic is CS5 as well:

Quote from: elfish Please could a member of staff explain why there is a loss of download speed with the pro add on?
There shouldn't be.
Quote from: elfish Does it use its own line speed profile to cap the speed?
No.

This probably answers your question.

So PN dosen't mark voice using 0xb8 i.e. EF?
Does that mean that outgoing voice traffic towards PN gets remarked to CS5?
The Bria app marks voice to EF and the 3CX phone app marks voice to CS6 from evaluating the traffic.

Quote from: spoon Plusnet doesn't mark ANY outgoing traffic (your uploads). It can't because it is generated at your end and by the time they see the packets they've already received them and it's too late.
Are you sure?
It is best practice to re-mark/remove any QoS marking's from incoming traffic as close to the source as possible (trust boundary), as the customer could mark all traffic as CS5 or above and that would certainly hamper fair performance.

According to that, the Pro add-on doesn't change that much. Web browsing is supposedly gold, with or without the Pro add-on.
