I've been living in the UK for the past 10 years. I payed 14 pounds for my 20 Mbit connection from BT. Most of the time my torrents would reach a 2.1 MB per second, Skype video calls between other high speed users was great, online gaming with no glitches and I also had other WiFi devices connected at the same time. Plus I had evening and weekend calls. I also never had any loss of service. We my Cyta 2 Mbit connection in Cyprus not only is it not fast enough to handle all that, service drops like 3 times a week for a few minutes or an hour and the price I pay for this c*** is not what I should be getting. I think the government over here just doesn't care about technology and doesn't view it at a priority, since most don't even now how to use it...     

Indeed the prices are higher than the UK but this is the only thing i agree with of what you said so far. The population numbers of Cyprus do not allow fierce competition which will lead the prices down and the speeds up.
Despite this this there was a major improvement within the last 12 months or so. Let me just remind you that a year ago the highest package speed wise you could get was 4 mbits. Now 20 mbits are available and most ISPs offer 8mbit packages.

Yeah. You have to realize that you are living in one of the least technologically advanced countries in Europe. Not only is your internet connection slow and expensive, but so is everything else that relates to technology. With such little population, temperatures reaching 45 C and no will or way to develop anything useful, depending mostly on tourism to keep the country's economy going, Cyprus is a doomed country where only patriots, mad people and some others can stand to live in. If you want to surf the net freely and have a choice of what to buy, how much you pay and how you get it, move to a different country in Europe where you are respected and your opinion can be heard and might actually matter and make a difference.
Cheers.                   

Your post is full of bullshit!

what you recommend? For example choosing internet with Netway. Do you recommend cyta or primetel platform ? i think they both suck!

TO UPLOAD???

 a coaxial cable is placed in your house which ends up to the single input side of one of these called splitter : http://www.summitsource.com/images/products/SP2532.jpg
This adapter is installed as a socket on your wall.

The other side has two outputs one for your modem and one for your tv where coaxial cables are also used.

The modem is of Aris brand

to be honest wavespeed has the cheapest 4mb package out there. if you choose adsl i strongly suggest it. been a customer of them before moving to cablenet nothing but good words to say.

go for the wavespeed over i choice platform. no blocking or any other traffic shaping happening on wavespeed service

i ve been a user of ADSL before moving to cablenet. over i choice platform the only ISP that i recommend is Wavespeed. Very stable and fast compared with all the others over i choice platform and the ISP that uses lesser/none filtering compared to all others and offers 4 mbits at 29.5 euros.
