Residential RIPE Cable/DSL/ISP
Summary
Faroese Telecom
isp telecom infrastructure
The subscriber names count addresses from the start of the block, and the numbers check out.
What it's used for
- The islands' incumbent telephone and internet operator. Twelve IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6
/32announced from the Faroe Islands, thirty-one thousand addresses, across seventy-nine observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Three answering addresses are named with a word for dynamic, an abbreviation for customer premises equipment, and a number that is exactly that address's offset from the start of its block.
- Those names sit under a domain that is the word for the access technology under the islands' own top level domain.
- Eleven netnames follow one pattern of country code, company and allocation date; the twelfth uses the local word for broadband instead.
- Four separate blocks carry the identical date, so they were allocated together and announced apart.
- Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and four returned a name.
Interesting
- Seventy-nine neighbours for a population this small is the striking number. Island operators interconnect widely because every path off the rock matters more than it would inland.
- The offset counter is a neat piece of engineering: the name is derived from the address arithmetically, so the zone needs no database and never drifts out of step with reality.
- One netname in the local language among eleven in the registry's working language is a small assertion that this is a national operator, not a branch office.

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: 447 networks and 1,845 prefixes, as published 2026-10-31. 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.
