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.

Projectors usually don't have a tuner. So even if you get analogue TV you will need to buy a separate TV tuner. You can buy such tuners in stores like stephanis.

Upgrade of speeds??? Really???
CableNet - officially the slowest provider in Cyprus:

my speeds are good, :0 I d/l with 1.10MBps with my 10Mbps line

Your speeds are just a tiny fraction of the total speed statistics gathered from Google. As you can see Cablenet has LOST its leadership, LOST its speeds and now is at the bottom of the chart. Cablenet not only did NOT upgrade its speeds - it DOWNGRADED its speeds. Once the UNDISPUTED LEADER now Cablenet is a dropout, behind everyone else.
It is now far from what it was just some months ago.
You can see this process develop over time in the charts I have posted so far:
It is useless to argue against cold statistics - this is the true state of the internet speeds in Cyprus today.

and I think it's useless to argue on those statistics.
have a look at primetel's facebook.
people are shouting as their connection is almost like a dialup.

I hope you can read greek
Even a friend who works for them in Limassol told me to avoid them.
