WA-IX: router upgrade and Steam cache refresh

Billing period changes 
We’re updating how services are billed. Invoices for fixed services are now issued for the month in which you’re using them. Towards the end of the year, we will also be making changes to how volume-based services are billed, moving to arrears to allow for upgrades and downgrades within each monthly cycle. Affected Members will receive advanced notice of these changes and no action is required at this stage. These updates will set the foundation for Cloud Connect and future contracted service arrangements.
