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.

What is holding Cyprus back more than anything is a bunch of government employed lawyers who work for the "regulator".
They serve nothing more than the interests of certain individuals and do nothing to benefit the consumer.
The alternative providers simply don't have the infrastructure nor the funding to deliver speeds like those being introduced elsewhere. Cyta have both the funding and the infrastructure and have done for quite a while. Cyta would have introduced higher speeds/lower prices yet are being prevented from doing so by the "regulator"
Cyta were amongst the first in Europe to invest in a Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) network based on Ericsson's GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) solution. This was in 2007!!!!!!

Cyta could theoretically already deliver Gigabit Internet similar to what exists in Sweden. The problem is the "regulator"

yeah well everyone wants to benefit from everywhere at maximum..even some government services used private isp rather than cyta which is half owned by government...how can you go forward when the president of the competitors/technology committee was 60-65 years old how can this person knows anything about these things... before he resigned or left i dont remember...the new one i dont know who is it and if he has an idea about these...
