Thats why I didn't try Primetel. You have to change your number and sign a yearly contract and I don't like to do that. An ISP that is good today can go bad in a month! That is why I always pay per month. But now I am thinking if I should get a year with Otenet because they have an offer for LAIKI customers that for the whole year you pay 55 pounds. That comes to less than 5 pounds per month which is very hard to resist since I have been using them for more than a year already and I am satisfied.

Hi all,
Please excuse my ignorance but I am moving across in April and would like broadband in the house. It will be used for general browsing, email etc.
During this debate you are voicing opinions regarding different ISP's, I visited the Wavespeed site and it mentions 'We offer ADSL connectivity, over Cyta’s I-Choice platform', does this involve paying CYTA for i-choice(over and above normal line rental) as well as Wavespeeds £15+VAT per month?
As said, please excuse my ignorance.

Cablenet offer packages upto 4Mbit download with upload speed of 1 Mbit if you live in an area they cover. AFAIK this is the highest residential broadband package that is on offer in Cyprus today.

Changed from Netrunner to Wavespeed a few days ago. I carried out several speed tests before and after and can confirm that I get a 50% faster service from Wavespeed for an extra cost of £3 per month and the Customer service is first class. Only paid for one month.

Yes, Cyta is the major telco company. So you need i-choice (from Cyta) + an ISP which can be Cytanet, Spidernet, Netway, Otenet, Weavespeed etc. so you pay i-choice (15 pounds) + ISP (10-15 pounds). The exception to that is Primitel (and maybe Cablenet) from whom you pay one fee.
