I might changeover to unlimited then if Plusnet will only charge a fiver per month to put me back up to Max Premium.

Max Premium actually costs £7.83 per month (inc VAT) for residential customers.

I had a Plusnet "pro" ADSL MAX account a few years ago (it was not an add-on then) but to get the upstream uncapped it was necessary to pay a few quid more.

I can not really remember what the prices were but I ended up paying the same for "pro" uncapped as I was paying for "pro" limited to 448Kbps previously. This was after I spoke to Plusnet, when just out of a 12 months contract, and found that my exchange was now in a "low cost area" (Market 2) and so I agreed to stay on a 30 day minimum term. In other words the extra cost for uncapped was about the same as the difference between the prices for low and high cost (Market 1) exchanges.

I'm assuming that's what the Pro Addon is?

No, it isn't. It changes the traffic prioritisation and is a waste of time and money on the Unlimited products.

BT and Plusnet cost much the same in Market 1 areas, and BT has more extras included, if they are of any interest. And of course now with the broadband-only premium included on Plusnet, those wanting to keep their BT line rental would definitely be better off with BT Broadband.
