ADSL continued problems: best wifi alternative?
Posted: Sun 17 Aug 2014 9:42 am
Firstly this is not intended in any way as 'having a go at' Sunny Cyprus - simply the creaking ADSL system with permanent promises (good ol 'Cyprus promise') of a fix/upgrade, soon!
Foolishly renewed our 4 mb ADSL package for a year as it had been relatively OK in recent weeks. Sods law after renewing it's been off more than on, or when on almost unusable. Apparently 'the Government' has put out the ADSL renewal to tender, but nothing further than that. While it may be cheap at 279 tl for 4 mb ADSL (plus telecom ADSL line rental cost per month), cheap ain't no good if it don't work! Really annoying as we are so close to the exchange, we have one of the best ADSl lines they have seen - regularly got 4 mb+ download speed on bit torrent.
Can anyone recommend a wifi provider (any one used Sunny Cyprus on wifi?) for the centre of Catalkoy? I see some services with 15mb connection, but it seems if you download during peak hours you will get penalised - having given up on the 'Digiturk-ripoff' years ago (mainly their arbitrary removal of channels with no notice), we do download a lot of TV to watch. Also looking to install an android box as well.
Grateful for suggestions in the 4 mb wifi service and anyone's experience in Catalkoy. One provider said with a 4 mb wifi, you can expect to get 3 mb - true?
Many thanks.
