Cyber Internet Services Private Limited, typically referred to as Cybernet is a B2B Internet service provider (ISP) based in Karachi, Pakistan. It is a subsidiary of the Lakson Group.
Cybernet became a Tier-1 provider in November 2022 by launching their own submarine communications cable project called 'PEACE',[1] connecting Pakistan to Europe, Southeast Asia, East Africa and the Middle East.
Network
[edit | edit source]Cybernet peers with Equinix in Singapore and Muscat as well as with DE-CIX in Frankfurt and Marseille. They also have peering and interconnect agreements with networks in the Middle East, through Etisalat by e& and Omantel.[2]
They own and operate the PEACE submarine cable that lands in Karachi, providing them with over 600 Gbit/s of bandwidth, which can be expanded to almost three times that amount based on its currently installed capacity of 1.6 Tbit/s.[3][4]
In July 2021, Cybernet rolled out IPv6 across its network making it one of the first ISPs in Pakistan to deploy IPv6.[5]
Services
[edit | edit source]Cybernet offers various connectivity solutions such as dedicated fiber internet, data center services, web hosting and cloud computing to SMEs and large companies across Pakistan.[6]
Outages
[edit | edit source]Cybernet suffered an outage on December 1, 2019, due to a fire at its headquarters.[7]
Controversy
[edit | edit source]- Cybernet, together with Nayatel took PESCO to court for abusing its dominant position by increasing Right of Way charges by 10 times. Cybernet won the case in December 2022.[8][9]
- StormFiber employees were attacked by local cable operators in Lahore[10]
StormFiber
[edit | edit source]StormFiber is Cybernet's consumer facing brand that offers Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) internet to residential users. They have coverage in over 20 cities across Pakistan.[11][12]
It has plans ranging from 20 Mbit/s to 250 Mbit/s, as well as additional services like landline telephone and high-definition IPTV.[13]
