Network operations centre
At the head office on Ataturk Avenue, working in shifts day and night. Each shift has four engineers and a crew on call.
Planned works in your district- It sees the state of every terminal and building cabinet minute by minute. When many lines on one street drop at once, an outage is opened and shows on the support page by district.
- It runs planned works at night, 01:00–06:00, and tells subscribers by SMS at least 48 hours ahead.
- The crew on call goes out to a cut cable at night too; if a break on our side lasts more than 24 hours, every day begun is credited to the balance.
- The support desk answers written tickets daily 08:00–23:00: within 1, 4 or 8 hours by priority.
