Entertainment

For eligible Internode broadband customers, 'Unmetered Content' services aren't counted against your monthly download inclusion - so enjoy!

Unmetered content is provided to help you use your Internode broadband service to its full potential, without incurring additional usage against your monthly plan quota on eligible plans.

Please read and consider the Important Information and plan eligibility below prior to using our unmetered sites and services. Some services, such as new retail Easy Broadband plans (from 14 July 2016 to 22 April 2020), new retail NBN plans (from 16 December 2015), and new retail Easy Naked plans (from 10 December 2015 to 22 April 2020), are not eligible for unmetered data.

Important Information: Plan Eligibility

Services and plans that are eligible for unmetered data

Unmetered access is offered explicitly for the following current and previously available plans/services only:

Current plans/services:

  • Fibre Estates (Opticomm and OPENetworks) plans

 

Previously available plans/services:

  • Easy Broadband plans available before 14 July 2016
  • Easy Naked plans available before 10 December 2015

If you've received an automatic plan quota upgrade from Internode and your previous plan was eligible for unmetered data, your new quota-upgraded plan (IG or GF) will continue to be eligible for unmetered data.

If your service type does not explicitly appear in the list above, unmetered content will count toward your monthly usage/quota.

The following services are not eligible for any unmetered data inclusions. All unmetered content consumed on the following plans will be counted toward your monthly broadband data quota:

  • Easy Broadband plans available from 14 July 2016 to 22 April 2020
  • Easy Naked plans available from 10 December 2015 to 22 April 2020
  • NBN plans available from 16 December 2015.
  • Easy Reach plans available from 14 July 2016 to 22 April 2020

Internode-hosted Valve Steam Content Servers

Valve's Steam servers provide automated, convenient software/patch updating for a variety of online games. See https://store.steampowered.com/ for more information about Steam.

  • Steam content that is downloaded from the Internode CDN Valve Steam Content server will not count toward your quota.
  • If Steam switches the download to an alternate server (this may occur automatically), your Steam downloads will count towards your normal quota.
  • Internode cannot guarantee or force the use of unmetered Steam servers.
  • You may wish to consider the use of a third party tool to limit the servers Steam can access.

For more information about Steam Content unmetering, please see our Steam Content Frequently Asked Questions.

Xbox Live Game Downloads

In partnership with Xbox our customers can enjoy unmetered Xbox live content! This means you can download demos, grab that new DLC map pack, and make sure your console software is up to date, all quota-free.

  • Includes Full Game Downloads and Demos from download.xbox.com
  • Streamed Content and 3rd Party Applications not included.

To source unmetered game downloads from Xbox Live, you must use the Internode DNS servers (auto-assigned). If you do not use Internode's DNS (for example, if you're using Google's DNS or another 3rd party DNS service), game downloads will count towards your usage.

Only Xbox Live Full game downloads from and demos from download.xbox.com are unmetered. Unmetered Xbox does not include any streamed video content or 3rd party application data access on your Xbox, for example, Foxtel over Xbox.

Limitations and Considerations

  • If a plan or product is not eligible for unmetered data (for example: Easy Broadband plans released in July 2016, or NBN plans released in December 2015), the content is still available, however all usage will be metered and count toward your metered usage.
  • Unmetering won't work if you use a web 'proxy' or VPN. If you access unmetered sites using a web proxy or VPN, all resulting usage will be metered.
  • Netflix Australia content unmetering only applies to video streaming. Browsing the Netflix website or content is metered, and will count toward your quota. Unmetering applies to the Australian Netflix service only.
  • Unmetering only applies to downloads. All uploads (including transmission acknowledgements and other overheads) are counted against your quota.
  • Unmetered data will initially appear in your measured quota, and will then be 'wound back' afterwards. This adjustment normally occurs within a few hours.
  • Internode is not responsible for metering of downloads that may occur if you inadvertently link to a site that is external to the unmetered site list. It is your responsibility to ensure that your downloads are sourced from an unmetered site.
  • Unmetered data is a value-added feature of selected Internode Broadband services. Internode reserves the option to vary the benefits offered by this feature at any time 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 high demand. Customers that require faster access to such sites are advised to consider downloading the required data from an alternative (metered) site.
  • The list of unmetered 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 current list of unmetered sites.
  • Business Pack and 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 or framed route. Access from such 'additional' IP address ranges does not benefit from unmetering, and access to the above-mentioned sites will be metered under this specific circumstance.
