Packet tracer ICMP problem across Cloud-PT - simulating an ISP

OK so I'm trying to simulate the access part of an ISP. Its proving rather difficult though.  I can get all the clients to ping back to the interface on the ISP_EXG_R1 OK. I can dish out IP's to the customers WAN interface of their routers.

I can't for the love of me get the 'customers' public IP's to ping each other. Tracing a packet sees it being dropped on the routers interface where it should send the packet back out.

I have tried a 'ip route' but that did not work. I'm wondering if there is a limitation here. I can mapping multiple modems to one Ethernet cable...

Bodrum, Turkey, VDSL2 !

So I went back to Bodrum Turkey again this summer after 2 years to find that they had VDSL2 rolled out across Bodrum and Gumbet. Below is a picture of the cabinets. I was impressed that a town which doesn't have 24/7 running water (houses have water storage tanks) has such infrastructure! 


Interestingly it might be Alcatel-Lucent equipment as Turk Telekom use that in their exchanges but i'm unsure if there are any other companies involved. I thought it would have been Huawei at a guess.
