Summary
Ljósleiðarinn (Vodafone Iceland)
telecom isp mobile
1,023 BGP neighbours from a country of fewer than 400,000 people, and reverse names spanning three mobile generations.
What it's used for
- A major Icelandic telecommunications operator carrying fixed and mobile subscribers. 306,688 addresses across 28 IPv4 prefixes, two IPv6 prefixes, and 1,023 observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Every block carries an
IS-OR-netname with its registration date:19930901,19950307,20000703,20000731,20010109,20020316,20020805,20060113,20060208,20110221and20120507. - Nine of eighteen sampled addresses returned names in three forms:
mobile-194-144-191-254.3G.internet.is,mobile-193-4-223-254.upf2.internet.isand46-239-208-0.du.xdsl.is. - The largest block is
194.144.0.0/16.
Interesting
- 1,023 neighbours is the third-highest count seen in this range, from an operator serving a population smaller than a mid-sized city. Iceland sits on the transatlantic cable path and its networks peer with everything that lands there, so the neighbour count measures geography rather than customers.
- The reverse names record three eras of mobile network in one zone.
3Gnames a generation now being switched off worldwide, whileupf1andupf2name the user plane function, a component that only exists in 5G cores. Both are live in the same sampled range, which is what a migration looks like from outside: the old naming is never cleaned up, it just stops being extended. - Eleven dated netnames from 1993 to 2012 make this the second complete allocation timeline in this range, alongside another operator whose earliest is 1989.

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: 432 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.
