The above link will show you the speedtest result I just did for my CYTA broadband. You will note that the time is 9.30 pm – a time when broadband load should not be at its highest.
220 download is probably the slowest I have ever had, ever. Ever.
So can I ask you to take up emails with me and write to the dear lady Viviane Reding at the EU Commission. This is the email I just sent her:
Dear Ms Reding
I thought you might be interested to know that Cyprus, despite being in the top 20% of countries by GDP, is in the bottom 20% countries for ADSL speed. The average is 700 down, 70 up. (That, incredibly, is kbps – the slowest in Europe.)
This makes it very difficult for me and my business colleagues to respond as professionally and efficiently as other countries in the EU.
The main cause of this lack of competitiveness is the monopoly that is held and maintained by the government owned telecoms body CYTA. This monopoly, I would suggest, is as illegal as the gangster-like strategies that they employ to maintain it.
Cyprus would benefit enormously if you would turn your formidable attentions to this state of affairs as soon as possible.
I have every faith that you will do so, and that when you do so that you will have an extraordinary effect.
Her email address is: [email protected]
If you're an internet user (let's face it, who amongst us isn't?) and you love Cyprus (the flag, look at the flag) and you wish to see her pulled screaming out of the twentieth century into the twenty-first (admittedly, there are a few on this forum who do have a major problem with this last point) then it is your duty sir, nay! your very duty sir (the flag, keep looking at the flag) to write her an email without any further delay.
I hope you will all join with me now in a small prayer.
the above are from my i-choice/Otenet 1Mbit connection. Other good ISPs are Netway and Wavespeed. If you want to try it then go to
