Cyprus Broadband
Welcome to the Cyprus Broadband website. Here you can find information and pricing details for all broadband platforms and Internet Service Providers of our island.
In Cyprus ADSL is the most widespread broadband technology with multiple providers offering packages that range from 256Kbps to 8Mbps. See the ADSL page for an overview of the state of ADSL in Cyprus.
Until recently Cyprus didn't have any Cable TV networks and for this reason Cable Internet is not popular in our island. Today the only Cable Company in Cyprus is Cablenet and currently its services are available only to a few urban locations.
In areas with no ADSL coverage the only available broadband option is one of the much more expensive Satellite Internet solutions. Satellite Internet is available in all parts of the island and it is offered by various international companies and their agents in Cyprus.
Using a 3G mobile as a modem or a dedicated 3G data card you can achieve semi-broadband speeds at a reasonable cost. 3G coverage is limited to urban areas and it is currently offered by CytaMobile Vodafone and MTN mobile carriers.
Cyprus Broadband News & Articles
Free Upgrades from Netway
April 24 2008 09:51PM by Admin
Today Netway upgraded its 1.5Mbps and 3Mbps packages.
More specifically the 1.5Mbps/256Kbps packages have been upgraded to 2Mbps/384Kbps and the 3Mbps/512Kbps packages have been upgraded to 3.5Mbps/512Kbps.
The upgrades are made with no additional charges for the existing or new clients of Netway.
Cablenet – High Speeds Cheaper
April 12 2008 07:32PM by Admin
Cablenet made their high speed internet packages much cheaper and stopped offering anything below 2Mbps. The company also removed all installation fees.
This makes Cablenet the obvious choice for anybody living in the (few) areas where their services are available.
Following is the news release from Cablenet.
The basic Talk, Surf & View package will be offered at €45.90 (£26.86) per month and the basic Surf+View package at €39.90 (£23.35) per month including VAT.
The upgrade has already been performed automatically by our systems and the new prices will come into force for existing subscribers from the 1st of May 2008. To enable your new connection speed simply restart your modem.
We would like to inform you that you can upgrade any basic Surf package to 4Μbps with €30.00 (£17.56) extra monthly charge, or to the lightning fast 10Μbps with only €60.00 (£35,.2) extra monthly charge!
Limited time special offers
February 14 2008 02:06AM by Admin
The broadband providers of Cyprus often have limited time offers that you should consider before making your final choice. These offers usually come in the form of limited time subscription discounts, free installation, or free (for a limited time) premium TV channels.
Our suggestion is to base your decision mainly on the quality of the product, and when you consider an offer to always keep in mind that in most cases it will only be for a specific time period after which you will have to pay more if you want to maintain the same level of service. You should also remember that changing a provider can be a hustle and it may involve additional costs.
Probably the best offer right now comes from Primetel. Until the end of March 2008 not only you get the PrimeADSL2+ package installed for free, but you also get a free upgrade to 2Mbps/512Kbps until the end of 2008. This means that if you sign up with Primetel for their "Two Play" (Telephony + Internet) package by the end of March you will have to pay only €42.63 for a 2Mbps connection until the end of this year. 2Mbps has never been cheaper in Cyprus. As always, keep in mind the limited nature of this offer, as well as the fact that Primetel requires a 12 month contract.
LogosChoice - Logosnet over the Primetel network
February 11 2008 03:55PM by Admin
Recently Logosnet introduced the LogosChoice ADSL packages over the Primetel Network.
With these packages Logosnet is now able to offer "Two Play" (Telephony + Internet) as well as "Triple Play" (Telephony + Internet + TV) all in one deals to its subscribers.
LogosChoice packages start from 300Kbps and go up to 2Mbps, all with the option of a Static IP at an additional cost.
Talk + Surf + View by Cablenet
December 05 2007 03:34PM by Admin
Cablenet has now added Telephony to their services becoming the 2nd private company in Cyprus after Primetel to offer all inclusive "Triple Play" packages that include Internet, Television and Telephony with a single monthly fee.
Talk+Surf+View 
includes everything that Surf+View offers plus Telephony with free Caller ID, Call Forwarding and Number Withhold. Clients transferring to Cablenet may keep their existing phone number or get a new telephone line free of charge.
Talk+Surf+View introductory all inclusive prices are the same as those of Surf+View until April 1st 2008. Prices start from £22.50 per month for the 512Mbps/128Kbps package and go up to £99.95 per month for the 10Mbps/1Mbps package. The installation fee is £34.50. These prices include VAT.
Please note that Cablenet coverage remains low, covering only a few urban locations in Nicosia,Larnaca and Limassol.
Broadband overtakes Dial-up for the first time in Cyprus.
December 05 2007 04:12AM by Admin
According to the latest figures by the Cyprus Statistical Service 2007 was the year when Broadband usage in households has overtaken that of Dial-up.
In 2006 65.3% of the households that accessed the Internet used Dial-up to do so and only 33% used broadband. In 2007 broadband usage in households rose to 51.2% while Dial-up dropped to 48.4%.
Unfortunately Internet usage from home in general remains low in comparison with other EU countries with only 38.9% of the households accessing the Internet during 2007. That is only a slight improvement from the 36.7% figure of 2006.
You may find the complete reports in xsl format here.

to compare Internet usage in Cyprus with that of the other 26 EU countries.
8Mbps by Netway
September 13 2007 01:51PM by Admin
Netway raises the bar of the ADSL in Cyprus with the introduction of an 8Mbps Down / 512 Kbps Up package for the price of £149.90 + VAT per month. This package is offered over the Primetel network and the price is "all inclusive" since it includes both internet and telephony.
Package Upgrades
Maybe more important, however, are the upgrades in the smaller FastLane packages (offered over the Primetel network) which aim to make Netway more competitive among the mainstream users. For the same price Netway clients will now enjoy higher speeds than before.
More specifically:
FastLane512 (512Kbps / 128Kbps) is upgraded to FastLane768 (768Kbps / 128Kbps)
FastLane1024 (1Mbps / 256Kbps) is upgraded to FastLane1512 (1.5Mbps / 256Kbps)
FastLane2048 (2Mbps / 256Kbps) is upgraded to FastLane3072 (3Mbps / 512Kbps)
FastLane4096 (4Mbps / 256Kbps) is upgraded to FastLane5120 (5Mbps / 512Kbps)
Additionally Netway has introduced a new FastLane4096 Business (4Mbps / 512Kbps) package and has upgraded the upload speeds of all FastLane Business products to 512Kbps.
