From April 15, 2005 Matáv is sharply reducing its Open Internet rates, so the service will be available for 5 HUF gross per minute from 7.00 till 24.00 every day. The 3 HUF gross per minute night rate (0.00-7.00) remains unchanged. In March 2005 the Matáv Open Internet service was used by close to 110,000 customers.

Besides continuous expansion of its broadband network, Matáv is paying special attention to improving its narrowband dial-up internet service too. This is why it has simplified the fee structure of the Open Internet service and sharply reduced its prices from April 15. Instead of the former 9 HUF gross per minute rate in peak hours (7.00-18.00) and 6 HUF gross per minute evening rates (18.00-24.00), it is now making available the Open Internet service for Matáv customers at 5 HUF gross flat rate. The 3 HUF gross per minute night rate (0.00-7.00) remains unchanged.

Launched in 2003, the Open Internet service offers minute-rated internet access without monthly, entrance or connection fees. The Matáv Open Internet service is available to all Matáv customers - with the exception of the subscribers of the low user (Minimál) package - by dialing 06 51 622 622. The service is very popular with Matáv's customers, in March 2005 service was used by close to 110,000 customers.
