For anyone interested, during the last few days the old TelstraClear steam server had its DNS name vanish, but I was pleased to discover it is now named steam.cdn.vodafone.co.nz and unlike the Telstra server which had HTTP access firewalled, this now allows HTTP downloads.
I have just released a new version of Steam-limiter (v0.7) which supports this server and over the weekend during my testing I was able to download several games over HTTP and verified that they did not count against my metered data usage.
I haven't yet changed the recognition of this to specifically call out Vodafone as a group since absent an official announcement there's no way of knowing whether this is unmetered for the other Vodafone broadband customers, but for ex-TelstraClear customers like me it definitely is. I'll add in any other Vodafone customer ASNs as and when there's some official announcement of support for unmetered download for those customers, but in the meantime it does all appear to be working fine. Be nice if it'd been up during the Steam sale, but given that basically every other ISP in New Zealand has discontinued their Steam servers, this is a welcome development. Yeah I just installed steam limiter again with latest update. Didn't think there was much point after new pc build so only just reinstalled. Appears to be working. Wish I installed it earlier. Thanks for that and hope it will work for everything. Lots of huge downloads to get through

At this point Telstra should remove the advertising of unmetered steam. There may be what 5% of games that are unmetered and they would be games people have or will never get. Of course I made up that percentage but the point stands. For people who do not search or do not visit these forums, they will hit their cap and have to pay stupid amounts for over usage. As much as we all like the idea of unmetered steam it is just not happening at the moment. Once it is sorted then advertise it again when ever that time may be.

Put it this way, these days everything is using the new http system. Don't count on anything not being http. There is a list somewhere that shows what is using the new system. Probably not updated though. Need either something to force it to use Telstras content server, Steam to put in the option to use the Telstra content server, or Telstra to offer all Steam unmetered. Just have to wait and see what happens in the future but dont get your hopes up.

Anyone smart enough to make something to force it to telstras content server rather than the metered http system?

Thats the way it is supposed to be. If it is not on the server then u will get that busy message. They will appear on the server some day lol. Be aware as someone mentioned, some of the games are converting to an http system with delta patching or something which may mean its not unmetered.
