AS13388 EGYPTIAN-TELEPHONE
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Egyptian Telephone
isp telecom business
The name says Egypt and every announced block is in the United States.
What it's used for
- A rural United States telephone and internet company. 18,432 addresses across six IPv4 prefixes, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- Netnames run in three formats:
EGY-NB3andETCA-NB1, the carrier-assignedUU-65-214-64-D1, andNET-216-138-48-0-1on two blocks. - That last netname is a registry object identifier naming a /21 that is announced separately.
- Sampled names read
ip-216-158-119-255.egyptian.net, and only two of eighteen addresses answered.
Interesting
- The company is named for a region rather than a country. Parts of the American midwest were given classical place names by settlers, and the businesses founded there inherited them, which is why a telephone company in the middle of the United States carries the name of a country on another continent.
- One netname is the registry's own identifier for a larger block, reused as the label on two /22s cut out of it. The parent /21 is announced as its own route, so the same address space is described three times in three ways.
- Two of eighteen addresses answering, in a network of eighteen thousand, is a provider that names its own equipment and leaves customer space blank.

Internet exchanges
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 2026-10-17, 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: 442 networks and 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
