A few questions; Does any one know what speed Cytanetforall runs
Do you need 1 or 2 lines for ISDN AND WHAT COST if you want a normal tel liine also?
And is broad band plus a normal tel line run on one single line?
And can you subscribe to dial up, ISDN OR BROAD BAND FOR LESS THAN A YEAR ie 1,3 or 6 mths?

Hi Henri and welcome to the forums. I do not really know about the situation in South Cyprus but some of your question as 'generic' so I will answer those and leave the specific ones to others.

ISDN can be run on one phone line giving 64kbs or two in conjunction giving 128kbs. In fact it can be run on multiple of these (like ISDN 30 in the uk) but I am not sure if this kind of service is available in Cyprus. The phone lines used for ISDN can also be used for normal phone lines but not at the same times as suing them for data. If you have a ISDN 2 line service you can use one linbe for data and one for phone calls and then go back to using both for data when you phone call is finished. Normally you paty a line rental for the number of lines you have. One ISDN line on line rental. 2 ISDN lines two line rentals. 30 ISDN lines 30 line rentals.

ADSL service only require a single phone line and you can use it for phone calls at the same times as for data without any reduction in data rate.

dial-up 56K.

Do you need 1 or 2 lines for ISDN AND WHAT COST if you want a normal tel liine also?

For internet you don't need ISDN. If you want ISDN it is I think 13.40 per month (+VAT+phone calls) which includes two phone numbers.
If you have ISDN, you don't need an analog (normal) tel line, but if you want it you can get it for around 6.5 pounds per month(+VAT+phone calls).

And is broad band plus a normal tel line run on one single line?

They can run on the same line at the same time. The line can be either ISDN or analog, it doesn't make difference.

And can you subscribe to dial up, ISDN OR BROAD BAND FOR LESS THAN A YEAR ie 1,3 or 6 mths

You can get the ISP part of the service for one month no problem. Now about the telecom part of the service (installing line/ADSL) you should be able to get that for a month also (if you are a permanent resident), but be aware that there are set-up costs for new lines also. (I believe it is around 20-40 pounds per set up)

It seems to me you are a bit confused as to what exactly you want. If you are more specific with what you want then we can advice you better.

It is available, but it depends were exactly in Agios Tychonas you live. If you have a house on top of a hill for example then probably you will be too far for ADSL.

Can anyone please tell me (A) if there is broadband in the villages surrounding Paphos, and (b) if not, what other dial-up? Also, the price on both in Cypriot pounds.

I am at present in Wales, UK, but emigrating to Paphos very soon, as soon as I have got contracts exchanged on this house in Wales.

A) No
B) Your only choice would be dial-up or if you are lucky ISDN.

If you have a serious Internet requirement then a two-way satellite based system is now available in Cyprus but quite expensive.

Hi,

Just a short intro, i just moved to cyprus, new to this forum and hello to all.

I have read alot of useful stuff, and god doesn't lana know alot about alot. Good going.

Just a note to say, ADSL is now available in Avgorou village, maybe i'm the first to get it as i just had phone line put in and constantly asked about it.

As for pricing, according to i-choice website, its only £15.mth for the 1 meg speed. This is good!!!.

Of course phone line and vat are extra, but this is to be expected.

So far service is good.

nice talking to ya all, will talk later.

Pan the man.

Hi there!

I'm not a Welshman, as I was born in London, but moved to Evenjobb, which is near Presteigne, Powys, 5 years ago. It's only 4 miles from the 'other Country' - England!

But in my marriage, we have moved with my job/headhunted, around 8 times, from South London, to Luton, High Wycombe, Halifax, Wokingham, The Cotswold Hills, and now Powys.

But we have now retired, and like the warmth, and also the hospitality of the Cypriots, as well as the British there.

I'm with NTL at the moment, in Wales, but it's not available in Cyprus, although they are said to be 'international' - I checked!

A pity, because as long as I put £15 worth of telephone calls in via NTL, which I have no problem with doing, as they are cheaper than BT, ALL my internet/web is free, 24/52, not a bad return!
