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.

Hello guys,
Any one experiencing disconnections with cablenet?This happens only at night 8-4am,My modem levels are not stable and the signal noise ratio of the line is going like hell,I was calling them for 1 week until they understand the problem was from outside.This week their idiot technicians were coming every day here in the street trying to find the problem, and finally the connection got worse.I very angry with them. Customer support 0/10 i really mean that.
Another question for those who owned a hitron BVW-3653,is it working with docsis 3 frequencies or is it still using docsis 2 because it's a 1.0-3.0 compatible modem.Can you get into modems administrative page?

Yes, I`m getting constant disconnects at this moment. Calling technicians won't fix the incompetence of the company, you`ll just have to wait until they get their act together, which might take months or years. My recommendation to everyone is to stick with cytanet.

Hi.
I have cablenet 1,5 year.
its the best offer in the Cyprus.
Bat have some problem some times. Its not stabile conection every time.
Have transfering stoped 2-3 min & some time 5 min
In the weekend its slow internet. Of couse all another company have more problem. I compare with internet from roumania. Identikal services (rds-rcs) its for 11 euro end speed its more haier end stable.This problem its not only from cablenet. Problem its b`koze use another company for internet conection (primetel?).
Another inconvenient for alliens its discrimination for deposit (140 euro). I sugest to company to have personal internet servises to no depend of the another monopolist company.
Internet monopolist provider for this countri no interesting to investing more in internet services & like to earn more money for medium quality.
Cable net its first step to have good quality for rezonable prices. Only if cable net depends of the another IT provider situation no chance to change.

Great improvement in the general speed statistics of CableNet from the last 2 months!
From the slowest in Cyprus to above world's average!
Great job CableNet! I guess this could mean only one thing for the customers - speed upgrades!

I don't care about speed i care about stability and in this stage cablenet has lost the train,i'm keep having disconnections every night.They said it would be fixed,their technicians came 6-7 times checking all the connections changing the modem,isolator,etc.Nothing changes i'm keep being disconnected every night.This is becoming annoying i'm having this problem the last 5-6 months and they can't fix it.That's it they have another month to fix it and then if not goodbye UNSTABLENET
