Cablenet is the only Cable TV and Cable Internet carrier in Cyprus. Currently the coverage is limited only to several urban areas. The difference between Cable Internet and ADSL is that unlike ADSL (I-choice, Primetel) that connect you to the internet via the telephone line that is already installed in your home, you connect to Cablenet with a separate coaxial cable that is installed to your home once you purchase the service. Therefore, connecting to the Internet through Cablenet is independent of your telephone carrier. Cablenet also offers an ADSL product which is available at more locations.

I have used cablenet internet access for a few months and it looks that it is not coming closer to a become a broadband connection but going the opposite direction. Paying for 5 MBs and getting 1,49 - that is the current speed I have and I actually don't remember being anywhere near 5Mbs in the past few months - is not a fair deal. If anyone knows a better service provider please let me know, as I really think of quiting with cablenet.

Φίλε Lathio,
ευχαριστώ για τα ενημερωτικά σου σχόλια. Μέχρι χτές, θα ορκιζόμουν ότι η Cyta έχει μικρά προβληματάκια αλλά τίποτε ιδιαίτερα ανησυχητικό. Επίσης, βάσει ερευνών στο δίκτυο το καλοκαίρι, πίστευα ότι η Cablenet αποτελεί τη νέα καλή λύση για ίντερνετ.
Τελικά, σήμερα (είναι η δεκατη φορά που με αποσυνδέει η cyta και ώς συνήθως το βράδι, λές και δε θα το καταλάβω ώς κοιμισμένος user) και απ'ότι καταλαβαίνω το free lunch της Cablenet είναι πλέον παρελθόν....
Πάνω στην ώρα, αύριο σκόπευα να κάνω αίτηση...
Και θα το διαδώσω ΚΑΙ για τους δύο απατεώνες...
Μάλλον καλύτερα να μισθώσουμε δορυφόρο πρίν δώσουμε λεφτά, και μάλιστα πολλά αναλογικά με άλλες χώρες, και ΠΑΡΑ πολλά αναλόγως της απόδοσης.
Τεχνικός ή όχι, με έπεισες ότι δεν είμαι τρελός που κάτι δε μου πάει καλά με το ακριβοπληρωμένο δίκτυο που δέ δουλεύει αλλά περιέργως ΚΑΝΕΙΣ δε φταίει, και κανείς δε δέχεται ότι είναι παράλογο να το ακριβοπληρώνω ΚΑΘΕ μήνα....

Υ.Γ.
έχω πολλούς φίλους που λένε ότι η μία ή η άλλη εταιρία είναι άριστη, και δεν καταλαβαίνουν γιατί ο κόσμος παραπονείται...
Εμ, άμα το ίντερνετ το θέλεις για να δείς τα αποτελέσματα της Eurovision και μία φορά το μήνα για τον καιρό....εμ πού να καταλάβεις πόσο συχνά είναι πιο αργό από τον καθυστερημένο, πεθαμένο παππού της μακρινής θειάς σου ρε κουμπάρε
Εγώ και πολλοί άλλοι το ίντερνετ ΠΡΑΓΜΑΤΙΚΑ το θέλουμε για όσο μας υπόσχονται ότι το πληρώνουμε... 24 ώρες, 365 μέρες, και με ελάχιστες εξαιρέσεις...(φυσικές καταστροφές, πόλεμοι κλπ) εμ, αλλιώς, γιατί το πληρώνουμε?

I have cablenet's TWG850-4 Wireless & VoIP Cable Gateway and 4 computers at home. 2 of the computers happens to have RealTek 8130 series NIC's. The internet drops in these 2 computers every 5 minutes and i have to disable/enable the connection in order to work again. Does anyone else has this situation? I did not had such a problem with primetel's modem.
Note: The computers are virus-free and i have the latest drivers from RealTek.
