Hi everyone,
Can someone provide some info on what kind of internet is available in Cyprus and rates and also will my electrical stuff work there from Canada?

Electrical appliances work at 220v. Laptops support 110/220 by default.

An appropriate transformer would work for any electrical stuff, but why bother?

...welcome Starburst,

unless your equipment is valuable to you forwhatever reason, you'll find what you need there, without the need for adapters etc. one thing, the telephone system (cellular) is different to Canada, and in some ways more advanced.

cheers!

enjoy, the beer ice cold; KEO is a brut, my favorite, Carslberg is as good as a Molson Canadian.
bring Maple Syrup, and a hockey stick, Cypriots play, although there are few of them.
eh?
