Unmetered sites are provided to help you use broadband ADSL and Wireless DSL services to their full potential without incurring any usage on your monthly allowance.

Please read the Important Information below prior to using these services.

What content is unmetered?

(+) Major Geeks Mirror

To source unmetered downloads from Major Geeks, you must go to the Major Geeks website and select the file you wish to download, then select the Internode Download mirror.

(^) Steam Content Server

Internode now operates the only public cluster of 'Steam' servers in Australia (see http://www.steampowered.com for more information about Steam). These servers provide automated and convenient software/patch updating services for a variety of current online games.

Access to these updates is unmetered for Internode customers when you use the Internode steam cluster for your game patch downloads - please note, your steam client may auto-select another steam server outside of the Internode network. We cannot control or guarantee that you will always receive your updates from the Internode steam cluster. If you download steam updates from another cluster or server, these will count toward your usage.

Internode Accounts and Support

Access to the Internode accounts information and support request sites is also unmetered, including data access to check your usage with any of the several usage meters available for use with Internode ADSL.

This means that you don't increase your usage when you use your service to check your current usage level ... !

Important Information about Unmetered Sites

Unmetered access is offered to the sites noted above, for all Home and SOHO ADSL and Wireless DSL customers, and for most Business ADSL customers (subject to an important caveat for Business ADSL customers, as noted below).

• The unmetering facility will not work if you use a web access 'proxy'. If you access unmetered sites using a web proxy, all resulting usage will be metered.
• Please note that access to these sites from other forms of Internode access links currently remains metered (and contributes to assessed download totals), due to data measuring technology limitations present at this time. This unmetering feature is only available for Internode Broadband ADSL and Wireless DSL services.
• Access to unmetered sites will initially appear in your measured usage totals, and will then be 'wound back' off your usage meter afterwards. This adjustment normally occurs within a few hours of the access concerned.
• Internode is not responsible for metering of downloads which may occur if you inadvertently link to a site which is external to the unmetered site list. It is your responsibility to ensure that your downloads are sourced from an unmetered site, in order to gain the benefits of this feature.
• The unmetering facility is a value-added feature of Internode Broadband services. Internode reserves the option to vary the benefits offered by this feature in the future.
• Under some circumstances (and as minimally as we can possibly manage), we may need to constrain access to some unmetered sites via rate shaping, during periods of intense demand. This applies especially to file servers in the unmetered site list. Customers requiring faster access to such sites are advised to consider downloading the required data from an alternative (metered) site if faster access is required.
• The list of un-metered sites is subject to change over time. It is important, before undertaking any large quantity of data downloading from these sites, that you reconfirm that your intended source site is in the currently configured list of unmetered sites. While in general we expect that the list will grow, rather than shrink, we may need to remove sites from this list in future. So please come back and re-check this web site whenever you wish to make sure that your notion of 'unmetered' is still the accurate one. A list of IP addresses that are unmetered is available here.
  
• Business ADSL Customers Only : Business ADSL access to unmetered sites is only available when accessing the sites using the static IP addresses that Internode assigns directly your Business ADSL service (either 1 or 5 IP address, depending on the option that you have ordered). The unmetered sites feature does not work if you access these sites using any additional static IP address ranges routed to your location using a GRE/IP tunnel. Access from such 'additional' IP address ranges does not benefit from this unmetering facility, and access to the abovementioned sites will be metered under this specific circumstance.
• Please note that Unmetering is only available for direct IPv4 access to Internode content, when accessed by Internode ADSL customers. While IPv6 services will be supported by Internode in the future, Internode have not yet determined if IPv6 unmetering support will be technically possible to implement. Accordingly, IPv6 access to all Internode content should be considered to be metered unless otherwise notified by Internode.
