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 had Cyta up to 1 year ago. I was used to problems so i wasn't worried when i got bad internet connection. When i changed to cablenet i was very excited. It was perfect, i had 5mbps connection and i could download with about 650kbps!!
Now it has been a week or so that im waiting for them to fix this problem. Low internet speeds, problems for many websites and basically only facebook works!! They should make this month free, im serious.
And about their technical help by phone... It might be just me but i think they only have one man helping on the phone!!
By the way i heard the ones who automatically pay monthly were given a free month. Is that true??

Hi Guys,
Is the problem only in Limassol?
I just spoke to one friend of mine in Nicosia and he said he is not having any problems?
Regarding the payment I dont know I just signed up 2 weeks ago.

Currently going 10 MBps, capped to ~2 MBps on heavy downloads (Tested on speedtest.net/Limassol, which is a Primetel server with a 9ms ping from here. I think I like them). Slows down at about 70% of the speedtest.net download, but speedtest.net doesn't seem to report the speed change correctly and displays 9.8 MBps.
I'm in Nicosia. No change in the other downloads. Let's hope it goes through peak times.
