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.

When you call them for a problem they answer is always "its a general problem"
After the August problem the system never recoverd
They say that the speed after the 1st of December 2010 became 20Mbps. That is in theory and perhaps during the dark night.
The real thing is during the day the download becomes lees than 1Mbps while the upload remains 1Mbps. The line is not interupted but with this performance you become unable to receive e-mails and you are not able to open simple pages. The respond "ping" instead of the normal 10ms to 15ms becomes 300ms to 540ms. The support is not profesional and for Saturday afternoon and Sundays you leave messages that they are not responding or reacting
Avoid them and dont believe them unless their system becomes stable and their support improved. It is wyse decision to choose any other provider.
Nothing is for free in that life....
