extracting a convergence subnet from a sequence which is Cauchy on every bounded subset of $\mathbb N$. I have a certain sequence $x_n$ in a complete and bounded metric space and I would like to prove that it has a convergent subnet (not necessarily subsequence). The best that I was able to do, until now, is to prove that $x_n$ verifies the following property:
for all $K\in\mathbb N$ and for all $\epsilon>0$, there is $n_{\epsilon,K}$ such that $d(x_n,x_m)<\varepsilon$, for all $n,m\geq n_{\epsilon,K}$ such that $|m-n|\leq K$.
Question: Does this sequence have necessarily a convergent subnet.
I really would like this is true, even if I suspect it is not. Nevertheless, I am not able to find a counterexample. I have also tried to prove that this is indeed true: since $X$ is a complete and bounded metric space, it is paracompact and by a theorem of Howes (th. 6.20 of his book "Modern Analysis and Topology") it would suffice to prove that $x_n$ is almost Cauchy. But it seems to me that my hypotheses do not imply that $x_n$ is almost Cauchy, since none of my sets where $x_n$ is Cauchy is cofinal.
Thanks in advance for any help,

 A: Let the complete bounded metric space be the unit ball of the Hilbert space $l_2$, and let $\{e_i:i\in\mathbb N\}$ be an orthonormal basis.  Consider the following sequence $(x_n)$, which goes from each $e_i$ to the next, but slower and slower.  That is, $x_1=e_1$ and $x_2=e_2$ (so we went from $e_1$ to $e_2$ in one step), $x_3=(e_2+e_3)/2$ and $x_4=e_3$ (so we went from $e_2$ to $e_3$ in two equal steps), and so forth, going from $e_k$ to $e_{k+1}$ in $k$ equal steps.  Because the steps get smaller and smaller, the sequence $(x_n)$ has the property specified in the question.  But no subnet converges.  Indeed, for each $i$, the inner products $\langle x_n,e_i\rangle$ are eventually zero, so the only possible limit for a subnet would be the zero vector.  But each $x_n$ has norm at least $1/\sqrt2$, so convergence to zero is impossible.
A: The property you mention does not imply the existence of a convergent subnet: take e.g. the sequence $x_n:=\sqrt n$ on $\mathbb{R}$, as a metric space with the truncated standard distance, $d(x,y):=\min\{|x-y|, 1\}$, which is uniformly equivalent to the standard metric, and makes therefore $\mathbb{R}$ a bounded complete metric space. The property holds with $n_{\epsilon, K}:=\frac{K^2}{4\epsilon^2}\, ,$ although of course $(x_n)$ has no converging sub-net.
As a side remark, note that the property you wrote is equivalent to: $d(x_n,x_{n+1})\to0$ as $n\to\infty$.
