AS11845 Vox-Telecom

AS11845 is Vox Telecom, one of South Africa's longest-established ISPs (founded

in the late 1990s) and today a converged provider selling fibre, LTE, satellite,

voice and cloud services to homes and businesses.

What it's used for

• Eyeball access, primarily. RIS observes 187 IPv4 prefixes carrying roughly 249,000 addresses, one IPv6 /29, and 38 observed neighbours. A quarter of a million addresses against a few dozen neighbours is an access network, not a wholesale carrier: transit sellers show hundreds or thousands of neighbours at this size.
• The reverse DNS confirms it. Sampled addresses resolve to vox.co.za and voxdsl.co.za subscriber-style names, including explicit dsl- pool hosts. Those are customer lines, and dsl here names the access technology, nothing more.
• The inventory is AFRINIC space in large aggregates: 41.193.0.0/16, 102.39.0.0/16 and 197.245.0.0/16, each deaggregated down to /17s, /18s and /19s for internal routing, plus 209.203.0.0/18 and 196.41.0.0/19.

Notable

• The RDAP registrant comes back as a role contact ("NOC Hostmaster") rather than a company name. That is an AFRINIC quirk, not a leasing tell: the ranges are Vox's own, contiguous, and carry Vox's own rDNS.
• Vox sits on both sides of the South African market, selling business-grade connectivity and managed ICT alongside consumer fibre, so the space carries a genuine mix even though the residential pools dominate what is visible here.
