On most current Internode broadband plans, all Fetch data will count towards your monthly broadband quota.
If you're on an older plan that is eligible for unmetered data, then Fetch won't affect your quota. All streaming channels, TV and movie store content, and movie rentals are unmetered. The Electronic Program Guide (EPG) and set top box updates are also unmetered. Some third party content - such as ABC iview and NASA TV - is metered normally. See our unmetered page for more information.
There are many differences between a Fetch set top box purchased in a store, and Internode's Fetch service. The main differences include pricing, whether Fetch content is unmetered (if you have an eligible plan), and if Movie Box is included.
These differences are explained in detail in our Fetch Retail FAQ.
The Fetch Mobile Companion App lets you control your set top box, watch TV and purchased movies/TV shows, and more, right on your mobile screen. Simply sign in with your activation code to connect up to 3 tablets or smartphones to your Fetch service. You can also switch playback devices if you need to switch to a different device. There is a limit of 2 switches per calendar month, and 10 switches per calendar year.
Make sure you connect your smartphone or tablet to a WiFi network while using the Fetch app. When not connected to a WiFi network, all usage of the Fetch Mobile Companion App counts towards your mobile data usage, which could result in excess usage charges if you exceed your monthly data limit.
For more information about the Fetch Mobile Companion App, including which mobile devices are supported, see the Fetch App Guide.
Streaming video over 3G/4G will count towards your normal mobile data usage. Excess charges may apply when you exceed your monthly quota. Please check your mobile carrier for mobile excess charges.
