But that is how cable technology works. The bandwidth on the last mile (the coaxial not fiber cable) has to be shared. If you live in a neighborhood that has only one customer then probably you can get full bandwidth. But if there are many customers on the same line then they have to share the bandwidth. This is mostly seen at Apartment buildings where if you have 2-3 "powers users"  downloading with 10Mbps each for 24/7, then the rest of the customers will get lower speeds.
If it is easy to fix it why Cablenet hasn't fix it  so far since they have a problem for the last 3-4 months.
If it is difficult , it probably cost a lot of money or they don't know how to fix it.
If it cannot be fixed then this is the wrong broadband technology.

With DSL technology, bandwidth on the last mile is limited only with the distance of the copper line and the technology you have.
The problem with distance can be fixed by placing DSLAMs closer to customers (cabinetisation).  There is Fiber-To-The-Cabinet thus making copper line  shorter. CYTA and perhaps others already do this.
DSL Technology is now ADSL2+ and goes up to 24Mbps. Next best technology is VDSL2 and goes up to 200Mbps (100 Mbit/s at 0.5 km  and 50 Mbit/s at 1 km) - but we don't have it in Cyprus Sad
Sharing starts from the Provider and depends on the policy and international capacity the ISP has.

I've been a subscriber for a year and a half.
Everything was working fine until Summer 2009.
Then the speed started to decrease between 19:00 to 23:00.

I made a complain and they told me they ordered the equipment and they will upgrade in August.
On August they told me they are upgrading in Nicosia and by September they would upgrade Limassol.
On September they told me that they upgraded Limassol, but no change in the speeds. It was still hopelessly slow.
I made an official complain on January 2010. I received a call the next day and they told me would investigate. I called again and got the "we are currently upgrading in <other area> and i don't know when we will upgrade in our area".
My brother-in-law who lives on the other side of their network in Limassol has also the same problems. He made a complain and they told him that it was the first time they ever had a complain about their network speed. Another friend who lives in a different area also has the same problems.

I'm only staying a subscriber with cablenet, because the effective bandwidth I am getting is the same as the primetel's 2Mbps package which is at a similar price.
Maybe when primetel starts their special offer bundles I'll switch to them.

Cablenet has a big problem with latency(ping),slow speeds at peak hours and lagging in games.But today i realised that tv also has problems is stucking.Now i'm thinking to move to primetel's platform with a 4 mbits connection and telephone line.I don't even need cablenet's channels because i have them on my sat so are useless.If they don't fix it i will move to primetel's platform.

We have resently installed Cablente TV and inetrnet. Signing up was friendly and efficiant. Installation was quick and on time.
However, I have now been trying to have secure wi-fi for 2 weeks and all i have to show is a cable connection...... NO WI-FI. Every help operator takes a differant route and not one has been able to get my Wi-Fi secured.
Am i the only one having this problem?

Very very dissappointed with cablenet. I installed the service for a week cable/talk+surf+view 5M just to realise that you can download from torrent sites with only 100-150kbps. I asked other people and they told me the same thing. Somehow Cablenet is limiting the speed it gives you This is very frustrating and i will probably remove the service. So if you plan to get Cablenet for internet and lots of downloading THINK TWICE!!!!!!

I've read most comments made so far and I can say I am somewhere between the happy and the frustrated customer.
I am amongst the happy, because, unlike a lot other reviewers, my connection is as good as cablenet promised. As I am writing now, I am downloading from μ-torrent with 600-640 kb/s, having a 5Mbps line. And it is like that almost every day since the free upgrade from the 2Mbps. I have been using their service for 2 years now, facing problems on 3 or 4 occasions due to maintance/repairs. I don't use internet for gaming though, just for downloading from torrent sites and watching sports for which I would have to pay subscriptions to watch otherwise. 
Besides being content with internet speeds (as a value for money service), for anything else I can think of, cablenet they are just ignorant amateurs. Pricing policy may change according to employee, service support...that is just a joke. To give you an idea what I mean, I had an issue lately, I was able to watch TV channels but had no internet service for days. Among other "wise" tech support advice that wasted my time, I was told to replace my modem. I paid 40euros to replace it (due to some change in equipment policy) and, as expected, it was not the modem's fault! Finally, they sent a technician to repair their faulty equipment (somewhere between the building's cable and the modem) but there was no mention about the 40euros or an apology for giving me bs tech support over the phone for days.
To sum it up. Unfortunately, I don't see any other better alternative to cablenet for now. Keep hoping!
