It is blatantly obvious that the regulator has failed miserably. Despite a hostile regulatory environment as well as a few vociferous Cytaphobes, people are not leaving Cyta in their droves and going to Primetel.

Lets face it, the vast majority of "sheeple" just want a connection and all they care about is whether their latest Facebook Fetish actually works. It's only a few of the more hardcore users who actually understand what is happening.

I'm not sure yet, just waiting for it to actually happen. To be honest, 8Mbit is pretty much a sweet spot as you can do practically everything. Anything beyond that is more for bigger downloading.

I don't have a problem with the distance to the exchange, I can almost throw rocks at it from the veranda. That said, there are technologies that negate the distance from the exchange, even over copper.

i am 2.55km away from it so i dont know if i will manage to receive 12mbit.. 8 maybe im 95% sure yes..

they dug up the roads in my village and they did not even put fibre lines damn them! for months and even today in my village the roads are still with huge holes.

i wish i could have cable.. for me the faster the better... but 8 will have to do

What actual difference will more speed make? I can already get streaming video fine. On a 4Mbit connection I can download an xvid rip in ~30 mins, higher quality in around an hour, I don't do DVD's or Blu-Rays as it seems pointless, kinda like the difference between downloading an album in mp3 format vs wav or flac, I certainly can't tell the difference. An 8Mbit connection will halve the time.

There are two things I have noticed as speed increases for us. Firstly that you eventually reach a point where there is very little left to download and secondly that download speed is also limited by the uplink speed of the person you are downloading from. In the vast majority of cases people are on asynchronous connections, meaning that their uplink is quite a bit slower than their downlink. Sure most P2P software can aggregate multiple connections to at least give the illusion of a fast download.

Primetel's 24 Mbit connections could well have a problem due to their really low uplink speed. This could well be an issue for all providers as it is my understanding that they can't deliver more than 1Mbit on the existing platforms. VDSL and GPON will allow those issues to be corrected. The other issue with a 24Mbit connection could well be due to the TV side of the triple play package as that too needs bandwidth.

speed can make a lot of difference... firstly if many house members use the internet.. ps3/xbox online gaming lots of pcs using the same connection downloading or doing different things... 30 minutes is a very long time for a simple xvid movie... and when you download every tv episode and movie released it takes even longer... 4mbit sucks..

upgrading very slowly at rip off prices.. there is always plenty to download. and never use p2p crap.. who still uses any of that crap? and the torrents suck too but some private torrents are hosted on 100mbit servers so you always download full speed. or 1gbit ftp dumps where you always get full speed... just the suckers who use crap like crapwire and think its good

ADSL is all about the distance from exchange and the crap copper lines we use in cyprus.. for instance if you live 3km away from the adsl exchange you will never download faster then about 6mbits... i am about 2.55 and i will be lucky to see 8mbit no matter if the isp give you a faster speed or not and not forgetting your phone line quality and hopefully one day we will have fibre in cyprus.

you have to be right next door to the exchange to see any decent speeds... 4mbit enough? no way not in a million years cable is better but adsl always give better upload speeds... though i never upload any more.. who uploads? i download around 10-15 tv episodes and any movies that are released new... and not from p2p lame crap Wink

atm i am in england until the 8th and i am maxing out my 50mbit connection

Downloading  everything purely for the sake of it somehow doesn't work for me, there are more things to do in life than watch every single TV series and movie that comes out, besides, there aren't enough hours in a day to watch them all. The only reason I can see for that level of downloading is as a dubious business by hawking pirate movies around pubs and markets. Most people on the Scene do not approve of making money from it.

Private trackers are the way to go with P2P for sure. As far as FTP downloads go, access to PreDB and the Scene does have it's advantages though I'm not so active these days due to work commitments. You do have to give something to get anything though and pubs don't always have the full catalogue.

Regarding Cyta's network infrastructure, if you actually paid attention you'd know that for the past 3-4 years they have been rolling out additional Remote DSLAM's and MSAN's which extend the range from the exchange way further than 3km, even over existing copper.

Dissing CYTA for the sake of it rather than acknowledging that the real villans are the bunch of lawyers sat in the regulator's office will do nothing to make things better. Cyta could offer GPON were they allowed to do so, they already have a pilot scheme operational in Archangelos with around 450 users connected, they will expand it further as and when the regulator allows them too.

GPON in case you don't understand the tech will allow Gigabit connectivity similar to what is available in most Scandinavian countries.

there is not one legit dvd store in cyprus and i never profit from any download, i watch them all maybe not in the same day but over a long period of time... as well as downloading firmwares iso's and many things, not forgetting in a lot of houses now everything is connected to the internet using a lot of bandwith..

but i never had a problem with cytanet just some times but not very often they have been very good to me.. i just hate adsl in general because i am not in a cable area..

i am going to be happy with 8mbit and stick with it.. i never had good experience with adsl and anything faster then 8mbit... i had 24mbit but copper wires meant no one ever recieved full speed even being right next to the exchange... i doubt these upgrades will change much.. but the connection is good and i think i will be happy and just stick with 8

I agree speed is overrated.
Browsing speed on 20 is just the same as it is on 1mbps.
If you need something big downloaded you don't sit and wait for it to download - you schedule it, usually overnight.
Does it matter if the download will finish at 2am or at 5am?
There is not one half decent streaming VOD provider in Europe and the American providers are restricted.
The only "use" of high speed bandwidth is with online gaming and I don't do it Cheesy
Once people realize they don't need more than 1mbps the prices will go through the floor.
When providers can not compete with speeds - they will have to compete with prices!
So if you want lower prices - do like I did - teach the greedy providers a lesson - downgrade to 1!

Unless you are an online gamer - in that case you just have to wait to grow up Grin

lol en paeis kala... 1mbit ?!?!?! why not just downgrade to 56k then hahaha i would hate to be forced on a crappy 1mbit again.. 4mbit is bad enough. when you dont want to leave your computer on 24/7 especially for downloads.. its not good when you leave it on all the time it over heats then you start to have problems...

it does matter.. only if you really dont do much online.. i have to accept 8mbit because i know i cant receive more but when i move to england i will for sure be on the 100mbit virgin media Cheesy they are rolling it out now so by 2012 every one in a cable area will have access to it

online gaming does not use so much but you need a better upload for online gaming
