Summary
Telecable
isp telecom media
223,744 addresses reached through six neighbours, every one of them a cable modem.
What it's used for
- A Spanish cable operator providing internet to homes and businesses. 223,744 addresses across 28 IPv4 prefixes, three IPv6 prefixes, and six observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The large blocks are three /17s and four /18s.
- Netnames are either
ES-CABLEGALICIA-with dates20031219,20041020and20080425, or the bare labelTELECABLE. - Six of eighteen sampled addresses returned names, all beginning
cm-, in two forms:cm-83-97-223-254.telecable.esandcm-staticip-85-152-223-254.telecable.es. - The AS handle is
TELECABLE Spain.
Interesting
- Six neighbours for a network of this size is remarkably few. A cable operator's traffic is almost entirely inbound to subscribers, so a handful of large transit relationships carries everything, and there is little reason to peer widely when nobody is trying to reach you.
cmis the cable modem, and it appears on every address that answers. The reverse zone is generated straight from the access network's equipment inventory, which is why the names are uniform in a way that a mixed hosting network's never are.- The
staticipvariant marks subscribers paying for a fixed address, distinguishing them in the hostname itself. This is the same public sorting of customer classes that other operators do, and it exists because the systems on the receiving end treat the two differently. - The dated netnames all name a regional cable company absorbed into this one, and the newer blocks dropped the name entirely rather than adopting a new prefix.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-13, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 436 networks and 1,771 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.
