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.

1st of all no one is allowed to write and leave such stupid reviews about cablenet. Having said that we can take all the other companies one by one comparing prices and speed. I read most of the reviews and peolpe seem to like primetels bandwith. WHATS UP WITH THAT? WHAT ABOUT THE MONEY UR PAYING? People dont seem to know about rapidshare and flashget which would significantly incease your speed. I ve been with cablenet for 3 years now and not once was i downloading with less than 600 k/bs per second. Max downloads ive done in a day was 100 GBs. I d like to show you screenshots and i will just give me some time to orginise.

If it is easy to fix it why Cablenet hasn't fix it so far since they have a problem for the last 3-4 months.
If it is difficult , it probably cost a lot of money or they don't know how to fix it.
If it cannot be fixed then this is the wrong broadband technology.
With DSL technology, bandwidth on the last mile is limited only with the distance of the copper line and the technology you have.
The problem with distance can be fixed by placing DSLAMs closer to customers (cabinetisation). There is Fiber-To-The-Cabinet thus making copper line shorter. CYTA and perhaps others already do this.
DSL Technology is now ADSL2+ and goes up to 24Mbps. Next best technology is VDSL2 and goes up to 200Mbps (100 Mbit/s at 0.5 km and 50 Mbit/s at 1 km) - but we don't have it in Cyprus
Sharing starts from the Provider and depends on the policy and international capacity the ISP has.

I've been a subscriber for a year and a half.
Everything was working fine until Summer 2009.
Then the speed started to decrease between 19:00 to 23:00.
I made a complain and they told me they ordered the equipment and they will upgrade in August.
On August they told me they are upgrading in Nicosia and by September they would upgrade Limassol.
On September they told me that they upgraded Limassol, but no change in the speeds. It was still hopelessly slow.
I made an official complain on January 2010. I received a call the next day and they told me would investigate. I called again and got the "we are currently upgrading in <other area> and i don't know when we will upgrade in our area".
My brother-in-law who lives on the other side of their network in Limassol has also the same problems. He made a complain and they told him that it was the first time they ever had a complain about their network speed. Another friend who lives in a different area also has the same problems.
I'm only staying a subscriber with cablenet, because the effective bandwidth I am getting is the same as the primetel's 2Mbps package which is at a similar price.
Maybe when primetel starts their special offer bundles I'll switch to them.

Cablenet has a big problem with latency(ping),slow speeds at peak hours and lagging in games.But today i realised that tv also has problems is stucking.Now i'm thinking to move to primetel's platform with a 4 mbits connection and telephone line.I don't even need cablenet's channels because i have them on my sat so are useless.If they don't fix it i will move to primetel's platform.
