This has been on the cards for a long time now. Cyprus has to be the only country where the introduction of competition has actually had the opposite effect, rather than providing a better service, it has actually remained static.
Alternate providers have had a chance to roll out their services and tout for customers, is it fair to prevent upgrades any longer for those customers who choose to use the incumbent?
What used to be broadband is once again less than the slowest speeds available in many EU countries where 8Mbit is a slow connection, 20Mbit the norm, 100Mbit being rolled out and even 1Gbit in some areas.
Our ADSL may well be 20 times faster than dialup, pity it is 20 times slower than most EU countries

totaly agree!
