I'm going to be trying that pro add one of the months coming, but i've only joined last monday so still on my 10 day training period of my fibre, and with PN having all these gateway problems, meaning you need to start juming gateways to get your speed back, evening times around 7pm, making high pings and dropping speeds very low, when your on a problematic gateway.
But last night i was on a good gateway i think, because speed was not dropping so much, and my ping stayed around 10, i hope the problem as been sorted.
What i have been reading on the community forum, this fault as been going on far too long.

Hint - there is no 10-day training period on fibre.

They prioritise VOIP and Gaming - neither of which I use on a regular basis

I cannot see any point at all in your paying for the Pro add-on if this is the case. Why do you want to disable traffic management? I don't get it.

I've not had traffic management for years, first UK Online, then O2 and now Sky. From the way some people talk about PlusNet's traffic management, you'd think connections are literally destroyed without it.

Really not the case.

And from the way you talk about it one would think it does destroy the connection.

For the vast majority it is irrelevant, and for those who used to need Pro on the earlier products it is now likely to be a hindrance.

But that's not the point, is it? You are paying £5 a month to have the traffic management removed/amended. For most people this is of no benefit and possible disbenefit. I still think people are confusing traffic management with throttling. There is no throttling on Plusnet Unlimited.

But in order for some traffic to be prioritised, other traffic must be throttled?

Depending on your definition of "throttling" I suppose you could argue that, but if no traffic is prioritised then all traffic is "throttled", not just the non time-sensitive traffic - which would you prefer?

I prefer the truth.

Well we all prefer the truth, are you suggesting someone is lying?
