Broadband in Cyprus and in Pissouri
The following Prices are from 1st of April 2012
Broadband is High Speed Internet Connection, mostly superior to the ordinary dial-up connection and much cheaper. In Cyprus it is not something new. It was firstly launched on 1999 but it wasn’t very popular. Broadband was introduced in Pissouri on November 2006 starting with the main village coverage and then slowly the rest of the area. There are many types of broadband in Cyprus. The Major providers are i-choice (now called DSL Access by CYTA) and Prime (from PrimeTel). In Pissouri there is only CYTA. People often ask about CableNET or PrimeTEL if there is coverage but unfortunately there isn’t.
Speeds available at the moment are up to 12Mbit.
Connecting to the internet you need 2 things. 1) The broadband (aDSL) line from CYTA and 2) the internet account from your ISP (Internet Service Provider). First you subscribe to CYTA for upgrading your Landline into broadband (aDSL). Connection fees apply (€78.59/one time fee) and after installation is made, you choose your ISP.
Let’s start with the costs of DSL from CYTA without the charges of an ISP (internet service provider):
The Internet Home service provide broadband access to the Internet using the ADSL2+ technology.
