AS12886 LEWTELNET Oskar-von-Miller-Str. 1b
Residential RIPE Cable/DSL/ISP
Summary
LEW TelNet
telecom isp infrastructure
A power utility's telecoms arm, named in the registry after the street it sits on.
What it's used for
- The telecommunications subsidiary of a Bavarian electricity utility. 48,384 addresses across 24 IPv4 prefixes, five IPv6 prefixes, and 102 observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The large blocks are
62.204.160.0/19,153.100.160.0/19,193.23.64.0/19and212.118.192.0/19. 153.100.160.0/19carries the netnameINNOGY_001, registered to a different energy group.- The AS handle is
LEWTELNET Oskar-von-Miller-Str. 1b. - The registry lookup for
212.118.192.0/19failed, so nothing here describes that block's record. - Nine of eighteen sampled addresses returned names, split between
ptr-62-204-168-0.static.lewtelnet-access.deandptr-153-100-168-0.pool.lewtelnet-access.de.
Interesting
- Electricity utilities became telecoms operators by accident: they already owned rights of way, towers and ducts for the power grid, and fibre costs little more to pull once the trench exists. The 102 neighbours are the regional interconnections that follow from owning infrastructure rather than from selling internet access.
- The handle carries a street address, and the street is named after an electrical engineer famous for building power transmission. A utility's telecoms arm registered at that address is a small joke that nobody involved intended.
- The reverse names distinguish
staticfrompool, so the zone states which addresses are assigned to a fixed customer and which are handed out dynamically. Mail systems and abuse tooling read exactly that distinction, which is why operators bother to encode it. INNOGY_001names an energy company folded into another, on a block now announced here. Utility mergers move networks the same way telecom mergers do, and the underscore-and-number naming suggests a block created from a template, expecting an_002that may never have come.

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.
