Summary
Post Ltd
isp broadband residential
Twenty years of dated netnames on one provider's blocks, all answering on a spa-region domain.
What it's used for
- Internet access. 33,792 addresses in 28 IPv4 prefixes, one IPv6
/29, and 128 observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The netnames are dated:
RU-POSTLTD-20021104,20080812,20090519,20110307,20120220,20181109,20190614— a company's growth written as a series of registry records. - Two older blocks predate the scheme and are simply
POSTLTD. - Not everything belongs to the company:
RU-IPDOLIN-20100914andRU-IPDOLIN-20190605are registered to an individual, Yury Dolin, and37.44.192.0/22to IGRA-SERVICE LLC. - Every sampled address answers under
kmv.ru, with names likepppoe-77-75-11-255.ppp.kmv.ruand215-255.cust.kmv.ru. - The IPv6 allocation is a
/29, the size given to a provider expected to hand out/48s.
Interesting
KMVis Kavkazskiye Mineralnye Vody, the Caucasian Mineral Waters, a cluster of spa towns in the Stavropol region that has been a resort since the nineteenth century. The provider's whole identity in DNS is a geography rather than a brand.- The dated netnames make the acquisition history legible without any other source: a block in 2002, another in 2008, then roughly one every two years. That is a regional ISP growing at the rate its subscriber base grew.
- Individually registered blocks announced alongside the company's own is the normal shape of a small market where the person and the business are not always separate entities.

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: 448 networks and 1,851 prefixes, as published 2026-10-29. 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.
