Summary
Rostelecom
isp eyeball backbone
Rostelecom (ROSTELECOM-AS) — Russia's state-controlled incumbent telecom and largest fixed-line operator.
What it's used for
- Fixed broadband and backbone connectivity across Russia, plus government and enterprise services.
Notable
- The dominant Russian fixed "eyeball" network; state-controlled, and central to the country's telecommunications and its "sovereign internet" initiatives.
Interesting
- Rostelecom is repeatedly involved in national routing and filtering measures, which makes its network a frequent subject of internet-censorship research.

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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
