@gazbosw2 - you will be able to get a Cyprus ID Card once you relocate here and get your paperwork sorted.

I am considering relocating to cyprus from the uk in january and recently inquired at the shop about the service and costs involved.
I was shocked to be informed by the staff that as a non holder of a cyprus ID card, i would be required to pay an additional 150 euro deposit for this service and that a cypriot national would not be required to pay such deposit.
As a eu citizen i consider that this is discrimination and therefore illegal under eu law. surely this kind of blatent discrimination should not be followed by a so called ethical company. i am currently contacting cablenet in the uk to ascertain their views on this matter with a view to taking further action.

same stands for all ISP.

I had the same issue 2 years ago and i had to pay in advance for my mobile and internet even if im Greek.
I had to take an Allien'S Card as well........

Another day with almost no internet thanks to Cablenet.

Another day of being charged for nil service.

But it seems I'm not alone and no doubt tomorrow there will be some new Cablenet Customers to join us all in the same boat.

Hi,
Many of you complain that International bandwidth with Cablenet is terrible.

Can you try and post here :
-traceroute
-MTR (for Linux) or
-WinMTR (for windows)

what ever you have ... to a website in Cyprus www.politis.com.cy

Because I saw an MTR  trace from a friend's house and it unbelievable slow. Politis website is under Cytanet and it takes almost 400ms (!!) for round trip time.

I've paid the f****rs but I get the same S**T.

You pay for 10MB and get .25  If you put this in terms of Car rental you pay for a Veyron and get a Smart!

Then exoun eipothesi!!!!!!!!

i visited today 3 installations of Cablenet users.

1 of them at Center (close to cyta) 1 at strovolos and 1 at makedonitisa (egomi)

All customers besides those at Makedonitisa (egomi) including mine that im staying at same area Dosnt Work

Maybe is more than a simple upgrade.

Mind as well that since LTV starded to give cablenet with tv package the problem will be worst.

Today i had a conversation with a cablenet employee who wasnt sure if the things will be fixed mid octomber.
The company will NOT provide refunds since its an Upgrade
(personaly i dont care since the already taking my money for a speed up to 10Mbits but im taking  1/10 of it )
And since i have internet even this one 0.5mbit or around 5 o'clock 1mbit i have to be charced (again since the service is up to 10 mbit)

Anyway those guys who running the company are clueless like every provider that exist at cyprus and even at greece exluding OTE(he fixed everything regarding the internet)

Anyway enough said already

Anybody ??
try also another website in Cyprus

Looks that not only their international bandwidth is full but also some of their local links.
