Cyprus Broadband Forum

From the beginning of this month Cablenet (http://www.cyprusbroadband.net/cablenet.html) has upgraded its packages by offering faster internet connection speed at the same price.

The 2Mbps Internet connection is upgraded to 5Mbps and the 4Mbps internet connection is upgraded to 10Mbps.

This makes Cablenet easily the first broadband choice for the (limited) areas where the service is available.

while implementing Dosic 2.0 from Cablenet has offered me 5Mbps which in peak times i get 700KBps. while other ISP double their lousy speeds to an average of the lowest speed cablenet has to offer before their upgrade meaning that Cablenet is still the Leading iSP in Cyprus. On the other hand though Rogers in canada which is a cable provider like Cablenet rolls out 50Mbps DOCSIS 3.0 service with free 802.11n router showing the possibilities over cable. Imagine that speeds

Hi Efrem

I can assure you that Docsis 3.0 will be available from Cablenet very soon, for sure before the end of the year

woow !!! Impressive!!!  but don't you need Docsis 3.0 cable modems for that? I know that can not be done from a software/firmware upgrade

Yes this is correct. Docsis 3.0 modems are needed in order to deliver services with download speeds greater than 50mbit. Otherwise, existing modems will register on a Docsis3.0 service in docsis2.0 mode (backwards compatibility).

Hi Guys!
I called Cablenet twice because i want to make a connection with them and i cant have a straight answer from them when they will be able to connect me with there service. They said that there is a cable in my area but is not yet be active and they don’t know when it will be. I asked if I can go to their office and make a subscription now, they said no. ???
They put their cable outside my house more than a month ago. Anyone knows how long it takes for them to get the cables active?
I cant wait!!!!!!

so we can expect new CM's by the end of the year?

Yes, if you subscribe to a 50mbit service :)

Anyone??? :)

Check your PM

OK Thanks!

georget did cablenet roll out new HD recivers?>

I have no idea.
I hope I will find out soon!  :)

kati nea recivers pire to mati mou proxthes p pira na plirwsw.

From the First of October Cablenet would charge for the HD Channels the fee of....  6 Euros  . Good deal...

I just came from Cablenet office and they told me that there is no HD Channels any more.
On their price list there is Analog TV and Digital TV(+ 6 Euro).

Gladly i would pay them. Got them in HDMI. Cablenet is the only one that offers that

Simera emena mou edwsan ena receiver INTEK DIGITAL alla den exei HDMI mono Scart kai RCA, giati?

did you pay the extra 6 euros for the Digital TV?

Yes

I called them and they said that they have only one receiver now and is without HDMI.

ask for the HD packet. i don't know if is still available.

Opws mou eipan den ypaxoun pleon HD Channels.
Edwsan mou mia lista me analog kai digital kanalia.
Esy poia HD kanalia pianeis twra?

Its being more than a month that cablenet installed cables in my area, someone here already asked by i would like to know too how much time does it take for the cables to become active because i dont get any answer from cablenet.
Thanks.

3 months.

thanks for the reply

as far for the HD channels are Luxe TV and Eurosport HD plus the digital packet channels that are available for the extra 6 euros

Those two Channels are in my list but cannot be opened by my receiver.

check my post on the other section of the forum (In the ISP reviews) for the decoder box modulation frequencies
Do a new scan with that settings

Hi, I am totally new to this forum.  We live in Vergina and I am trying to obtain UK TV via my computer and at the moment I have CETA broadband which keeps freezing and often does not even load.  I use a portal system that I subscibe to and can get BBC iplayer and the ITV version, but I can hardly watch anything.

My broadband states that it is 54.0Mbps when I highlight the icon at the bottom of the screen, so I am not sure what 2Mbps and 4Mbps relate to with Cablenet and Primtel.

I have enquired with both companies to see if they have their service in this area and they both do.

So would I be better off getting cablenet installed?

We have only been in this house since July 1st and had to have CYTA reconnected from our other place.  We have kept our same phone number, but really need to get the TV sorted out.  We did have a dreambox system before, but it is no longer available so we have been told, so the only way we can get UK channels with a huge Dish is from the internet.

So can someone please suggest a reasonable system that will do the job with costing a fortune each month?

Thanks in Advance

David

   

well if your area is wired with Cablenet i strongly suggest that you subscribe with them. As far as the channels you will be able to receive lots of them with cablenet or if you stick with cyta you can add myvison which are the Tv chanells with Cyta. Of course if you like satellite you will be able to receive the channels that you want with out a big dish.
I don't know for sure if your portal with BBC is going to work outside Uk.
