so, how about that ptcl
so, how about that ptcl
looks like they screwed up again, big-time. first the fiber link goes down, then a few hours later, the satellite backup. rumor's going around that they cut off lahore in favor of karachi (i couldn't confirm this). here's what my isp looked like:
(green is incoming).
some of the ispak people here are planning on meeting up with the president, the finance minister, and secretary itt.
i know it's wrong, but i kept hoping the link would be down for just a few more hours -- long enough to get people really riled up.

Re: where does the satelite link goes..??
i don't have the exact map handy, but eventually our packets get to singapore. i think the actual cable goes to bombay before reaching singapore.nouman wrote:where does the satelite link goes..??
that went down about three hours after the fiber link died.when the sea-me-we-3 link at karachi is down.... as i knew that ptcl got a satelite link at Dehmandro near karachi and Malach near islamabad...y dont they use those link when the fiber link goes down???
it appears that ispak was successful in having two ptcl engineers suspended over this issue.

hmm ya u r rite but pls pray ..and be hopeful
aoa
i came to know while our backbone is down we use the satelite only for the voice and television broadcase..not for data...
1 thing is till the day we dont have our second link fo fiber backbone..we wil have to face problem
when the deregutaion will take place the competetors will come but there is likely a chance to have a dooply at that time.
so we must be hopefull

Hi there,
PTCL has 2 X 155 Mbps SMW-III links terminating at Port Karachi , these links are carried over to the Whole country over PTCL's owned Fibre Network / PIE / Pakistan Internet Exchange with 3 points of presence at Karachi / Lahore / Islamabad.
Second / Backup Links are 2 X Sat Links which are afew E1s .. i guess maximum 34Mbps. These are at Karachi / Islamabad ( Somewhere Around Them ).
Regarding Using Backup Links , in the current DDOS Attacks/ Internet Downtime in Pakistan , the problem was with PTCL, They dont have people / efficient backup system to power up the whole country ( and yes i am sorry to say this ). The Core Router's power supply burnt along with the red. power supply and they didnt have any backup ,The Backup Link ( SAT One ) was down because of weather and here we are disconnected from the Internet.
And yes, regarding de-regulation policy.. That doesnt matter because PTCL has invested / developed such a huge local network / loops that every new company in the market is going to use PTCL's damn ( sorry ) network.
regards

Aslam-o-Aliakum,
DNO and ISP normally blame PTCL because of it's monoply.... but Now after deregulation why they are not investing... before this they (DNO and ISP) offered large scale investment after the deregulation policy... but where their offers are... where they go???
They go nowhere... but infact... at that time (in Past) they need a party to be blamed by them (for an excuse)... so there is PTCL...
But now there is not PTCL who to be blamed... now i see... that these people (DNO and ISP) are need to be blamed for nothing they do for this country and people... because they need deregulation of Telecommunication and Internet sector and Government did for them and for the future and betterness of this country....
Now i request them... to come infront and purchase Large Bandwith for u'r bussiness... and also improve the rates of Internet (Dialup is approx. free in most of country) and come up... with more security policy and with technical team who can handle the DoS and DDoS and other attacks... so we can see... what u ppl said in Past is a TRUTH and also prove that PTCL is fact didn't perform well in past....
