No, it's completely different.
Instead of shaping and fixed STM limits, the new system will gradually reduce your speed on a sliding scale depending on how much you've downloaded and local port loads. You'll essentially get "de-prioritized" down to the same level as other people who have the same level of utilization as you.

That would be interesting, considering that traffing shaping just doesn't work and STM only annoys people. I completely get why VM would want to reel in those who throttle their connection 24/7, but the STM limits are a bit on the low side (in my opinion).
