North Cyprus internet - cable broadband

30th April 2007

The face of North Cyprus internet changed when in April 2007, The Internet Club made a massive investment in internet hardware. Their whole network backbone and infrastructure was replaced at a total cost of £65,000. The new hardware pushed speeds on their network from 11 Mbps to 54 Mbps.

"It was the right time for us, we were small enough to be able to afford to make the change but big enough to be able to fund the change-over to a 54 Mbps network. The difference that it made to the operating speed of our network and internet connections was incredible" said one of the principles of TIC.

In addition to this, TIC agreed a contract for the supply and installation of a fiber optic cable, connecting them directly to Turkey and Europe.

"This was a very important development for all of the Internet Club Members. Over the 2 previous years, the Internet Club's internet connections were supplied, as indeed were most of the prominent players in the field, by connection to a satellite through a dish. The problem with this type of connection however, is the amount of time that the signal takes to travel to and from the satellite or, the gateway to the internet. Also, bandwidth delivered by satellite is very expensive because of the overhead cost of putting a satellite into space. Internet service providers with this type of connection are forced to tightly manage the bandwidth that each user receives. This results in slower internet access speeds."

"In the UK and the rest of Europe, fiber optic cables have been used to deliver internet for a number of years but have only recently been introduced to the TRNC. Commercial satellite systems are fine where there is no other alternative. Multiple internet connections can be supplied through single earth stations. These connections are then forwarded on to individual users. This type of internet connection is perfectly acceptable in most cases but with users wanting faster and faster speeds, there is only one way to go - fiber optic cable with the ability to support thousands of users with multiple megabit connectivity."

Data travels through a fiber optic cable at the speed of light with minimal delay. Unlimited bandwidth can be delivered at lightning speed. Faster access speeds and more bandwidth results in happier users. The fiber optic cable, with the satellite earth station as a back up, puts TIC in a very strong position. TIC now offers unrivalled speed, reliability and customer service.

"The 1st phase roll out of the service began in April, but having supported TIC loyaly over the two previous years, this was reserved for existing Internet Club Members. We rewarded everyone for their loyalty with very fast Internet, including SIMULTANEOUS Voip (Internet calls to England and the rest of the world), downloading, web surfing and connectivity to UK radio stations. Reservations for the 2nd phase roll out began in 4 weeks later. In this phase, connectivity was supplied on a first come, first serve basis. Anyone that was interested was urged to call in at the Internet Club's new office on the main road, near Lemar in Karakum - opposite the Kingfisher fishing tackle shop, or telephone 0533 843 1149. Installations started at a minimum of £80 and there were various bandwidth packages starting at £30 per month. Potential customers for the new service were advised to get theirr order in early to avoid delay as we are expecting a rush!"
