OpenWeb — fibre & mobile internet service provider in South Africa
OpenWeb is a South African internet service provider offering uncapped fibre alongside 4G and 5G mobile data, so a household can take a fixed line and a mobile connection from one provider. Fibre packages start from around R599 a month across the major open-access networks, and uncapped 4G and 5G data starts from around R337 a month on MTN and Vodacom coverage.

An ISP pairing fibre with 4G and 5G data
OpenWeb sells uncapped fibre across the major open-access networks, so whether it can give you a fixed line depends on which network has reached your street. What sets it apart is pairing that with uncapped 4G and 5G data on MTN and Vodacom, which gives a household a second connection for load-shedding or for the wait before fibre arrives. A coverage check against your address returns both the fibre networks and the mobile signal available where you are.
Who OpenWeb is a fit for
- Households that want uncapped fibre and a mobile data connection from one provider.
- Homes in areas prone to load-shedding that want a 4G or 5G fallback for the fixed line.
- Buyers still waiting on fibre who want uncapped mobile data in the meantime.

Does OpenWeb offer both fibre and mobile?
Yes. OpenWeb sells uncapped fibre across the major open-access networks and also offers uncapped 4G and 5G mobile data on MTN and Vodacom coverage, so a household can take a fixed line and a mobile connection from the same provider.
How much does OpenWeb cost?
Fibre packages start from around R599 a month, and uncapped 4G and 5G mobile data from around R337 a month. The fibre figure depends on the speed and the underlying network at your address, so a quote confirms it for you.
Is my address covered by OpenWeb fibre?
OpenWeb resells across the major open-access fibre networks, so coverage depends on which of those has lit your street. A coverage check against your address returns the networks and speeds available, and where fibre has not reached, mobile data is an alternative.
Can OpenWeb mobile data work as a backup?
Yes. Uncapped 4G and 5G data can act as a second connection when a fixed line is down, for example during load-shedding, or as a primary connection for homes still waiting on fibre. Signal depends on MTN and Vodacom coverage at your address.
Is OpenWeb fibre uncapped?
Yes. OpenWeb markets its fibre as uncapped, and its 4G and 5G data packages as uncapped too. Actual speeds depend on the package chosen and the performance of the underlying fibre or mobile network.
Which mobile networks does OpenWeb use?
OpenWeb’s uncapped mobile data runs on MTN and Vodacom coverage. Which network gives the better signal depends on your location, so it is worth checking coverage for both before choosing a mobile package.
