Summary
Pentanet
residential eyeball isp fixed-wireless
PENTANET-AS-AP is Pentanet Limited, a Perth-based licensed carrier and ISP that sells home internet across Western Australia over its own fixed-wireless network plus resold nbn fixed-line services.
What it's used for
- Consumer and small-business broadband in the Perth metro area. Pentanet runs its own metro fixed-wireless network of transmission towers and falls back to nbn where its wireless does not reach.
- RIS sees 48 IPv4 prefixes totalling 10,496 addresses and 7 IPv6 prefixes (
2400:ec40::/32and sub-allocations). The v4 blocks are the usual APNIC patchwork an Australian ISP accretes over time:121.200.32.0/20,103.46.212.0/22,163.47.56.0/22,160.20.72.0/22,103.89.80.0/22.
Notable
- Eyeball access network, and the reverse DNS proves it rather than merely suggesting it. Sampled PTRs resolve to
…static.wa.pentanet.network,…customer.as10214.netand, decisively,…cgn.wa.pentanet.networkon103.225.228.0/22. Carrier-grade NAT pools exist for one reason: to fan a single public address out across many subscriber sessions. You do not deploy CGN for servers, andwanames the state the customers live in. - The 8 observed BGP neighbours confirm the role from the other side. A wholesale carrier peers with hundreds to thousands of ASes; a regional retail ISP buys transit from a few upstreams and sits at a local exchange. Ten thousand addresses fronted by CGN serves far more households than the raw count implies.
Interesting
- A backbone hop leaks into the sample as
ve-1442-cgn01-p1.as10214.net— the operator names its own core interfaces after its AS number.

Classification and threat
Residential Fixed-line consumer ISP. Addresses here are homes.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
