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.

We finally have a Cablenet tech coming out tomorrow morning to check things out, looks like it'll be a direct connection coming straight into the apartment rather than a roodtop install. Apparently, to put it into our block would likely require the signature of every Tom, Dick, Andreas, Androulla and their dog in the block just to get it done.
This is becoming far more complicated than it really needs to be and has taken way too long. Fingers crossed they either do the install tomorrow or at least get their fingers out. Were it not for the office internet connection we would have all gone crazy by now.

To put it quite simply, if you live in an apartment block that does not already have Cablenet, forget it. It is so damn complicated and so many permissions needed that it is not worth the hassle.
We thought we had a solution bringing it direct to the apartment, turns out we still need a gazillion signatures.
As there are a number of apartment blocks in our street and none of them seem to be hooked up to Cablenet's wire, I'm guessing this is down to the amount of red tape that needs to be cut through in order to get a building connected.
Cablenet's loss will be either Cyta or Primetel's gain.
