Residential RIPE Cable/DSL/ISP
Summary
netplus.ch
isp telecom media infrastructure
One thousand four hundred observed neighbours, which is a different order of magnitude from everything around it.
What it's used for
- A cable and broadband operator. Thirty-seven IPv4 prefixes and three IPv6 prefixes announced from Switzerland, a hundred and thirty-three thousand addresses, across more than a thousand four hundred observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The neighbour count is orders of magnitude above what a network of this size normally shows, and above most national carriers.
- Almost every netname carries a retired brand with an allocation date; the dates run across more than a decade with several blocks a year in the busiest stretches.
- One block breaks the pattern entirely with a different retired brand of its own.
- The single answering address reverses its octets and then adds a label spelling out the word reverse before the domain.
- Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and one returned a name.
Interesting
- A count this high usually means the number sits behind a federation of smaller networks rather than a single operator, so what looks like one company's neighbours is really many companies' worth.
- Thirty-seven routes with dates spread over a decade is a network that grew by absorbing allocations rather than planning them, which fits a cable operator consolidating regional franchises.
- Spelling out the word reverse in a reverse record is the same redundancy seen elsewhere in this range, and it survives for the same reason: a template wrote it and nothing objected.

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: 442 networks and 1,772 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
1 IC3 indicators addresses in this network appear in FBI IC3 cybersecurity advisories.
| Prefix | Advisory | Published |
|---|---|---|
95.215.61.192 | "First VPN Service" Used by Ransomware Actors to Compromise Systems | 2026-05-21 |
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
