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.

if you except the bad service customer support , they are the best provider in Cyprus, mostly because of the high bandwidth and few users. If all switch to Cablenet their speeds will eventually suck. |Hopefully that won't happen

The best broadband platform in Cyprus. The cheapest and the highest speeds available in Cyprus (10mbps). The only bad is the range they cover. In 2011 cablenet will cover all Cyprus (Limassol and Nicosia especially) as they announced.

got my Cablenet speed downgraded from 4mbps to 2mbps because i added some channels and i wanted to keep the lowest cost as possible. My speeds are 275Kbsps almost constant where a friend of mine with Primetel's 2Mbps line he gets maxed out 230Kbps
Also I got 2 tv's on cablenet's platform both of them running Hd Channels.

We are not satisfied at all with their service.
Cablenet promised to connect us in maximum of 15 working days after we signed and we waited for one month!
Then we had to wait for porting the telephone number from CYTA. Cablenet said 3 days - it took them 3 weeks! Mind you everything was done after numerous calls and complains to their service line.
All in all the job they promise to do in a maximum of 18 working days took them nearly 2 months. Maybe they don't work full week there?
Their service line is always busy - you have to wait for at least 5-10 minutes before your turn comes. Obviously the people they hire are under qualified or the company is under staffed. Or maybe they cover their expenses from the telephone charge?
The quality of the TV signal of the channels is not satisfactory - different channels have different quality, some are clearly crippled with sound and picture distortions.
The quality of the Internet connection is questionable since it does not maintain the promised speed - almost all the time during download it drops in half and stays there.
The only reason we signed up with Cablenet was because we could have TV signal on more than one TV set with no extra cabling or devices. The moment there is an alternative service from another company we will consider moving.

as far of the customer support, you are right things there are moving slowly but that comes in balance with their speeds which i believe that they are the best per euro in Cyprus. I think that you may get those problems because probably you need an amplifier for both of your signals. call them and tell them to install one on your premises so that you achieve both good speeds and Tv chanells with no problem
