We haven't officially released details regarding traffic shaping on the new products?

For the benefit of those reading this thread though, the new Unlimited products will not have any rate limits applied at all. There will still be prioritisation that will classify time sensitive traffic like gaming and streaming above other stuff but for all intents and purposes your internet activities will run at line speed across our network throughout the entire day.

The new Essentials product will be managed in a similar fashion to the existing Value product. That does have some pretty severe rate limits on certain traffic at certain times of the day.
