  • What are Amnet's peak and off-peak hours?

    Amnet's peak and off-peak periods are split into the following:

    Peak = Monday to Friday 07:00am to 11:59pm

    Off-peak = Monday to Friday 12:00am to 06:59am and all weekend (Saturday 12:00am through to 11:59pm Sunday). 

    And we still don't count uploads in either peak or off-peak allowances.

  • I've been shaped. What can I do?

    To minimise bill shock, we reduce your download speed once your download limit has been passed. Shaping will remain in place on either your peak or off-peak usage until your new month rolls over.

    For Enabled plans from $59 and above, we reduce download speed to 256kbps until your new month commences. All other plans are shaped at 128kbps. We do not charge for excess usage.

    We also offer Download Packs, which you can purchase to 'top-up' your usage if you have been shaped. Contact our Support Team if you would like to purchase a download pack for $10 which provides an additional 3GB peak and 6GB off-peak.
