TW1 Islamabad Goes Live!

Finally, the GigabitEthernet connectivity between Nayatel and TW1 is up. We shifted our traffic to TW1 to check out how well it performs.

I can reach Yahoo.com in only 11 hops now! not to mention that the idiotic policy of PTCL's ITI i.e. blocking of voice ports and video ports is not followed by TW1.

Imagine this: a customer needs to do video conferencing between Islamabad and (say) Dubai or Egypt. With PTCL's ITI, this requires a week long red-tape procedure involving every tom, dick and harry right from the ITI NOC to the General Manager and EVP. Certainly no way to treat premium customers like us :-).
