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.

they don't have bandwidth as you can see they capped the speeds cause they mention what would happen so they capped their speed until they fix it cause if you use a vpn at day you get between 650 but at night using again vpn speeds goes as capped again so they don't have bandwidth and they capped us this happened also 1 year ago and it took them 3 months to get bandwidth.this time i will go with another isp that can be named as ISP.

is old now primetel is using this cable that's why they have the lowest pings
as you can see here this is the biggest submarine fiber optic cable and this is a map to show which countries are connected to it

I remember 2 years ago Primetel promised that when they land the cable the will introduce internet speeds up to 24Mbps at lower price.
So cable is here but speeds and prices are the same.

Πάντως εγώ άρχισα να μεν πιστεύω τι λένε.
Η CYTA έχει 3-4 χρονια που λέει ότι θα φέρει Fiber το the home. Πριν ένα μηνα έλεγαν ότι 1 Σεμπτεβρίου θα διπλασιάσουν τις ταχύτητες και θα μειώσουν τις τιμές.
Η Cablenet έλεγαν ότι από πέρσι θα είχε 50Mbps.
Τώρα η Primetel Fiber το the home.
Εγώ νομίζω ότι όλοι εκμεταλλεύονται την μη ύπαρξη ανταγωνισμούκαι κρατούν τις ταχύτητες χαμηλά και τις τιμές ψηλά. .
