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.

Do you remember CableNet's announcement for "upgrade of its international capacity", as posted on September 10, 2010, on their website?
Well - it does not exist anymore. The announcement has been removed from their website.
And no newer announcement is posted.
I guess that means there will be NO upgrade of international capacity.

@cminas, just give up on Cablenet, I had a similar problem as you and from what I'm hearing on this forum I'm glad they didn't give me service. I eventually took a Cytanet 4Mbit package and am happy with it. From what I'm hearing there will be an upgrade soon for Cytanet - that actual upgrade speeds haven't been released yet though rumor has it they will be somewhere between 8 and 12 Mbit.

Has anyone noticed any change whatsoever since November 8th?
Supposedly: “Cablenet has this week upgraded its international capacity which has effectively doubled its existing capacity. This major new investment will be extremely significant, both in terms of even further resiliency for Cablenet’s international network, as well as improved response time for European internet and data traffic”.
This is their last chance. I am not paying another month unless they deliver. There is this Primetel offer that I am considering...

Although I was starting considering for an alternate ISP, i have noticed a change for last few days. Speeds look that are back to normal with some disconnections to the internet ussually at late nights.
Another thing. Why they didn't post this message on 10th of September?
