AS14178 Megacable Comunicaciones de Mexico, S.A. de C.V.
Unclassified RIPE Cable/DSL/ISP
Summary
Megacable
isp telecom infrastructure
Netnames that are literally the address range written out, and two Dutch companies holding blocks inside a Mexican cable network.
What it's used for
- A cable operator's network. 57,088 addresses across 36 IPv4 prefixes plus one IPv6 prefix,
2806:240::/32, with 23 observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Several netnames are the range itself, such as
201.149.64.0 - 201.149.95.255and131.161.56.0 - 131.161.59.255, registered toMegacable Comunicaciones de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. 45.65.92.0/22carriesNL-LEGACO-20181113, registered toLegaco Networks B.V.45.144.188.0/22carriesNL-PANQ-20190823, registered toPanq B.V.- Six of eighteen sampled addresses returned a name, all of the form
service-static-149.23.254.mcm-telecom.com.mx.
Interesting
- A netname that repeats the range is a registry declining to name anything. The field is required, so the software fills it with the only fact it already has, and the record ends up saying the block is the block.
- The two Dutch entries are dated in the name and prefixed with a country code, which is the European registry's convention. Space registered in one region and announced from another is routine now: addresses are traded, and the registry that issued them keeps the paperwork.
- The reverse names drop the first octet and keep the rest, so the hostname is not quite the address. They also carry a brand that is not the holder's, which is what happens when an operator buys another and keeps its zone.

Reputation
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 1,782 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
