I've always gotten the latter message from Internode -- or, more precisely,
"If you don't call us you'll continue to get the same lower data allowance",
since their prices don't tend to go down, they just give you more stuff. 
And yes, if you're on the older plan and go over, you *do* get shaped, and
you have to wait until your account rollover to get upgraded.  They used to
send out e-mails explaining that new plans were here and you'd need to
change plans to get the free upgrade, but I don't recall seeing one of those
for some years (pre-takeover, I believe).
