Summary

isp mobile eyeball legacy
One of Israel's national mobile and broadband operators.
What it's used for
- Consumer mobile and fixed access. 2,141,696 addresses over 58 IPv4 prefixes, ten IPv6 announcements, 280 observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The netnames are one stem,
IL-PARTNERCOM, dated across a decade of growth: 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2010 and 2011, each attached to a/14,/15or/16. - Reverse DNS carries two brands the company no longer trades under. Mobile and broadband addresses answer as
176-229-0-0.orange.net.il; other blocks answer as87.69.0.0.cable.012.net.il,80.178.128.0.adsl.012.net.iland46-121-127-254.static.012.net.il. - One sampled address answers with its own reverse name,
254.127.179.80.in-addr.arpa.
Interesting
- The IPv6 announcements are a staircase.
2001:40a8::/35, then a/40,/39,/38,/37,/36,/34and/33, each one doubling until the block runs out. Together they cover the whole of2001:40a8::/32except a single/40at2001:40a8:2000::. Something was carved out of the middle, and the rest was announced around the hole in the largest pieces that fit. - The two domains in reverse DNS are two companies. Partner operated under the Orange brand under licence, and 012 was a separate telecom business it absorbed. Both names are retired and both are still answering.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
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 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
