If you live next to the telephone exchange you could get 24meg, there's your answer move next door to the exchange.

Nearly right....

Done a line measurement with a handheld bandwidth and distance tester in Limassol. Customer was literally next door to the exchange. Line distance was over 1km.

Copper went from exchange, to a cabinet 500m away before coming back to the house. Was a poor pair anyway as the max bandwidth was only 11mbps max. Got Cyta to change the pair which bought it up to 21mbps max.

My line, I lice 2km from Exchange so the maximum I can have is 11mbps here. 4.7km.......wow, you must get alot of timeouts on your line Bill C?

Definitely mate. 4.7kms according to the service provider. Goes for a few weeks without problems and then it grinds to a halt. Phone up the service provider who tells me we get loads of "errors". They tweak a few things and it gets back to normal.

Funny thing we live in London! Right on the edge and there are no cables from the likes of Virgin down our way and no prospect of them laying cables so we have no choices.

50 meg is the speed to their network not to the Internet. Your be lucky to max out a 10 meg connection, most servers can't handle it unless your downloading from microsoft.

while in england for studies i was maxing out at 20mbit from the same isp when the maximum connection was 20mbit

but thats with adsl you have to be right next tot he exchange, with cable you get the full speed being 10km away from exchange

AND, where you learn to drive properly! AND, where ignorence is not the norm! I HAVE NEVER KNOWN SUCH AN IGNORANT RACE! THIRD WORLD COUTRY-CYPRUS.

Sorry to hear your not getting on so well in cyprus, we do have 10mbit cable connections but its 99 euro a month and very limited to who can get it but even if it was available to me i would not get it at that price!

Cytanet have 4mbit for 30 euro a month i hope to upgrade my 2mbit soon to that, and virgin medias 50mbit is not available to all its customers yet but by summer it will be.

Though they offer 10,20 and 50 nothing less. And if you get 50 and nothing else its 51 pounds per month less then our 10mbit lol, but they offer a crap upload speed for 50mbit.

Soon cyprs will catch up with these speeds in 5 years lol, colleges already have faster but they pay thousands per month.

This guy blames Cyprus even because he can not legally get Sky here! Cyprus is another country you moron! You want legal sky you have to stay in the UK! How long did it took you to figure this out?

In the UK, if you live near the exchange you tend to be served via direct cable, so no cabient involved.
