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.

Φίλε txcreaper αρχικά να ξέρεις ότι συμπάσχω μαζί σου και ότι οι γραμμές μας έχουν ακριβώς τα ίδια προβλήματα.
Τα p2p εννοείται ότι είναι μπλοκαρισμένα γιατί αν δε τα μπλοκάρουν δε θα μπορούμε ούτε να σερφάρουμε.
Μη ψάχνεις να βρεις αν κάπου κάνεις εσύ λάθος είσαι ο τελευταίος που φταίει.
Τώρα όσο αφορά το ping plotter με αυτό το πρόγραμμα ουσιαστικά βλέπεις την πορεία που ακολουθεί το σήμα σου μέχρι να πάει στον προόρισμό του.
Βήμα βήμα βλέπεις ότι το σήμα φεύγει απο το σπίτι σου πηγαίνει στην wavespeed Λευκωσία Λαρνακα Λονδίνο κτλ.
Η πρώτη στήλη στο Ping plotter σου δείχνει το μέσο όρο του delay(ping) που έχεις σε κάθε βήμα.Η δεύτερη σου δείχνει το τρέχον delay δηλ. το delay που μετραει καθε 10 δευτερολεπτα και η τρίτη είναι το jitter δηλ. το πόσο αυξομειώνεται το delay.
Όταν εγώ έχω delay με την wavespeed τη μια 20ms και μετά απο 10 sec εχω 850ms καταλαβαίνεις ότι η γραμμή έχει τεράστιο πρόβλημα και αυτό έχει άμεση επίπτωση στο VOIP και στο online gaming.
Oσο είναι κοκκινη η τρίτη στήλη δεν υπάρχει περιπτωση να ξαναπαίξεις online.
Αυτός είναι ο λόγος που ανέφερα πιο πάνω ότι οι μετρήσεις στο speedtest.net είναι τελείως άσκοπες αφού το μόνο που μετράνε είναι το direct download και τίποτα άλλο.
