      depends really. we’ve got fibre (Aglantzia) and it’s super fast. you get what you pay for

      No, Cyta is great with amazing 5G coverage and top fiber speeds. Anything else is from good to terrible, but Cyta is great.

      No. We have fiber coverage everywhere and with Cyta 5g coverage everywhere and hefty speeds.
      Greece infra is for laughs.

      We’re bad at a lot of things but internet speed and stability in Cyprus is pretty great!

      It’s a mixed bag depending on the location and type of service. As someone who floats between Greece, Cyprus, and Canada, IMO – Greece has pretty bad cable internet that is worse than the cable internet in Canada, but the fiber optic in Greece is excellent, and both more affordable and more available than in Canada. Cyprus has always been shit for fixed line internet due to being an island and all, their cable internet is often even worse than Greece, but generally I find its ok. Fiber in Cyprus is very good and on par with Greek fiber (cheaper and more accessible than in Canada).

      When it comes to mobile internet, I find Greece and Cyprus are equally lackluster, but being such small countries they have better coverage than Canada. I find the mobile service in Greece tends to be worse than Cyprus, but the service in Cyprus is usually just ok for me.

      But funny story, I once visited a cousin in a very remote village in mainland Greece. I was shocked to connect to his wifi and get a perfect 100/100 Mbit connection with short latency, and he is almost 2 hours to the nearest city. He said it was because nobody else in the village was online, and at night time the bandwidth would dip to 1-5 Mbits 😛 Cosmote, of course.

      From my home with Cablenet 5G the results are about as bad. 2.55Mbps down and 0.67Mbps up in a test I just did. In other locations it is better, but where I live Cablenet doesn’t have good signal.

      Thankfully I don’t need 5G at my home because I have Fiber connection with Cyta, and I always get at least the advertised speed with that (500+ down and 120+ up)

      Internet sucks in Greece I went to McDonalds other day their card system was down due to no internet.

      I got Starlink, problem solved.

      Fixed Internet is quite good, mobile Internet varies depending on location, operator and number of mobile terminals at the location.

      My friend you have a different problem, that speed hasn’t been normal ISP speed for 20 years

      In Paphos region I find Cyta’s coverage comfortable for everyday use. For a week or so it was my only internet source, so during the day I attended meetings (Meet, Slack) and did my daily job without a hitch, listening to music/playing some videos in the background without any problems too. (fast.com showed like 500/100 Mbps just now)

      Fiber from Cyta still is „ok“, I guess. Speeds are as advertised, I haven’t noticed any disruption in months now. However, if you need very good ping to Europe/America, you might want to relocate 😆

      Ping to Europe servers is anywhere from 55 to 75 ms overall. It is stable, but quite high (obviously if you consider that most servers are in Northern/central Europe, like Stockholm, Frankfurt…, people living near the servers will have ping as low as 1-20 ms)
      However, ping is not the issue for me. It’s the way some CDNs work. For example, Steam defaults to Greece. And while it’s quicker to respond, for some reason it very often decides to just die, and gives you 100 kbps treatment for an hour. So a word of advice – if this happens, manually change CDN to Germany or Turkey or whatever, as ping doesn’t matter here, only look at speeds and availability.

      First rule for Steam in Cyprus — switch your Settings/Downloads/Region from Greece to Israel. 😉
