If you are going on Essentials the Pro add-on may be worth it - but given the cost you'd do better to go for Unlimited instead.

To get 11Mbps downloads you must be on a 21CN exchange. Once connected I suggest checking your upload sync speed; if it is around 444kbps I suggest requesting it be changed to uncapped - a free upgrade. That will give up to 1Mbps upload which should be more beneficial than the Pro option would be.

@SPRAXYT
As he does P2P its definitely worth it. It upgrades from bronze to gold. It will make the speed quicker and torrents completed quicker.

The "Pro add-on" will only make the performance of everything else you do WORSE while P2P is running,
it does NOT uncap the P2P speed (on "Unlimited") as it does on the older products.

Absolute rubbish! It will increase his P2P speed from line speed all day to line speed all day - that''s right absolutely zero increase.
In addition it will mean that that there is a distinct probability that it will mean that P2P running in the background will stop things like streaming running properly.

Previously capacity was limited so on the old accounts like Plusnet Extra things like P2P had to be slowed down at peak times.
They've now invested in a large increase in capacity so that Unlimited users can be kept running everything at full speed at all times (note you could however run in to local BT exchange contention - Plusnet and all other ISPs will encounter that. BT usually add capacity pretty quickly).

So worth having then for line speed at all times, but not now - with current Unlimited this is default.
