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.

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]
