Steam™ Content *

Added: 01/06/2009

Apex unmeters traffic from Australian hosted Steam content servers, which provide automated and convenient software/patch updating services for a variety of current online games. See http://www.steampowered.com for more information about Steam.

As long as your Steam content download originates from an Australian hosted Steam server, it will not count toward your Broadband usage.

If Steam switches to downloading from a server outside of Australia (sometimes it will do this automatically), your Steam content downloads will count toward your normal quota.

Apex cannot guarantee or force the use of Australian hosted Steam servers.
You may wish to consider the use of a third party tool to limit Steam access to Australian hosted servers only.

Important Information about Unmetered Sites

  1. Unmetering is only available for direct IPv4 access to content, when accessed by ADSL customers. While IPv6 services will be supported by Apex in the future, We have not yet determined if IPv6 unmetering support will be technically possible to implement. Accordingly, IPv6 access to all content should be considered to be metered unless otherwise advised by Apex.
  2. Apex 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.
  3. The unmetering facility is a value-added feature of Apex Broadband services. Apex reserves the option to vary the benefits offered by this feature in the future.
  4. The unmetering facility will not work if you use a web access 'proxy' or VPN. If you access unmetered sites using a web proxy or VPN, all resulting usage will be metered.
  5. Please note that access to these sites from other forms of Apex 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 the services in the box above.

Notice!

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.
