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 of Companies.
Cybernet became a Tier-1 provider in November 2022 by launching their own submarine communications cable project called 'PEACE', connecting Pakistan to Europe, Southeast Asia, East Africa and the Middle East.
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.[1]
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.[2] [3]
In July 2021, Cybernet rolled out IPv6 across its network making it one of the first ISPs in Pakistan to deploy IPv6.[4]
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.[5]
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.[6] [7]
It has plans ranging from 20 Mbit/s to 120 Mbit/s, as well as additional services like landline telephone and high-definition IPTV.[8]
