PrimeTel is a relatively new player in the telecommunications sector of Cyprus. It is currently the main competitor of the semi-state owned CYTA. PrimeTel platform coveragePrimetel has partnered with Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC) to create a fiber optic network that is currently utilized by their ADSL2+ platform. At the moment the PrimeTel platform coverage is limited to the urban centers and a few suburban areas. To find out whether your establishment is covered by PrimeTel you can enter your telephone number in a form at the PtimeTel website or you can call PrimeTel at the phone number 133. PrimeTel "triple play" services and ISPsUnlike the DSL Access (i-choice) platform where the user subscribes to the platform, to the ISP, to Digital TV and for a phone line separately, in the case of the PrimeTel platform all of the above services are bought and paid to the ISP with a single monthly bill. PrimeTel has its own ISP but other independent ISPs utilize the Primetel platform as well. PrimeTel ISPThe table below lists the ADSL packages offered by PrimeTel.

Today is 2ed of January and speed hasn't changed. I still have 4 mb connection instead of promised 8mb and upstream is suppose to be 512 but here is only 256. You are using DSL technology so distance is a limit. Does your modem locks at a speed above 8Mbps so you can get 8Mbps internet service? Only their Tech Support can tell you that. Call them. 26

reviewer: dekypriojanuary 10 2010 01:36am hey you guys of primtel..can some one post the ping to san francisco from speed test.or even better from ping test and post us the rateings. 28
reviewer: npfebruary 01 2010 03:32am After three 40-min long visits to their Nicosia HQ I managed to get a broadband internet contact with primetel. Having spend 10 years in UK and US, I would rate these guys with 3 out of 10 on customer service alone. If only they could spend some money on training their personnel, or hiring people with some skills, instead of their fancy advertising campaign they would have been far better. Why on earth it takes 15 working days, that's three weeks, to get a connection. Billing allover the place, hidden charges everywhere and lots of delays. They've even charged me a fee for printed billing whist I am getting my invoices by email. 30
