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.

Overall yes. Their customer service is very bad - they come over as cowboys most of the time. I am not a gamer so ping delays do not affect me - there download speed has for the vast majority of the time been what I have paid for i.e. 10Mbps and as such I cannot complain. Last night my speedtest to Limassol was 19Mbps - so some tesing for the doubling of speeds must be underway. I have friends though who have major issues with speed and lag with their service however and I feel in that respect I have been lucky. For the moment will stick with them.

I have been with Cablenet 1.5 Year now.
While I am satisfied with download speed most of the time, browsing is much worst than Cytas 2Mbps I used to have.

how about server outside cyprus?...i believe these tests are not reliable..the best way is to download from ftp or http from nvidia or microsoft to see your speed
