OpenWeb Newsletter June 2026

Hey OpenWeb Family,

There is so much happening behind the scenes right now that if I tried to write it all down, we would both be here all day. But we have had some massive breakthroughs this month, and I wanted to make sure you get the most important highlights.

From market-leading 5G redesigns to a South African first for mobile data, here is what is fresh at OpenWeb this June.

Fixed 5G

The Best Fixed 5G on the Market, Redesigned

We have completely overhauled our MTN Fixed 5G lineup to offer what we confidently believe is the best value in South Africa right now. If you want blazing-fast, unthrottled home or office internet, we have got you covered.

• Full 5G Speeds & Access starting at an incredible R398 per month.
• Tailored for everyone: specific packages for everyday consumers, growing SMEs, and large Enterprises.

Mobile Data

A South African First: Free Static IPs on MTN Mobile

This is a massive milestone. We have launched Free Static IP addresses for all MTN Mobile users. Because MTN Mobile runs directly on our own robust core network, we have rolled out brand new Edge PoPs in Durban, Johannesburg, and Cape Town to keep latency as low as possible.

• Starting from just R387/month.
• No restrictions: no special router required, and it is not location-locked.
• Ultimate flexibility: use it in your phone or in a 4G/5G router. Wherever you go, your golden Static IP comes with you.

What is a Static IP and why do you want one?

Normally, mobile networks change your IP address every time you disconnect or move. A Static IP is a permanent, public IPv4 address that never changes as long as your package is active. It makes hosting gaming servers, running a home web server, or securely accessing smart home devices far simpler.

Behind the Scenes

Something Big is Brewing

We are currently deep in network integration negotiations with a Tier 1 mobile network to bring you a brand-new ecosystem of products. Think instant activations, seamless SIM swaps, and a range of premium features that will change the game. We cannot say too much just yet, but it is all very exciting. Watch this space.

Resellers

The All-New Cloud Manager & Our Growing Community

Our Reseller platform is growing exponentially. More entrepreneurs are moving away from traditional providers to join our flexible, no-fuss program. The days of one or two massive players holding a monopoly over the market are over.

• Low Barrier to Entry: competitive pricing with a minimum investment of just R1,500/month, which goes directly toward purchasing customer packages.
• Now Live: Cloud Manager. We have integrated Cloud Manager into the familiar reseller panel, putting our international Compute Cloud network at your fingertips.

Quality Over Quantity: Join the Waiting List

Because of this rush of growth, we are strictly prioritizing network quality and support over raw numbers. To ensure current resellers get the world-class service they deserve, we have instituted a Waiting List for new applications.

We release a limited number of reseller slots monthly on a first-come, first-served basis.

Join the Reseller Waiting List

That is the main bits for now. We are heading straight back to the server room to keep building the future of South African internet.

Until next month... Happy Downloading!
