Twenty-seven thousand addresses reach the world through one observed neighbour.
What it's used for
- A mobile and fixed operator's network. Fourteen IPv4 prefixes announced from Greece, no IPv6, twenty-seven thousand addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- One neighbour carries the entire network, which for an operator of this size is the narrowest connection in its class.
- Netnames carry three brands: one marking mobile service, one the country code with a former brand, and one an older brand still with a service word attached.
- Every block lists the same three contacts, two of them roles that spell the full company name in capitals, and one belonging to a fourth company entirely.
- One block's registry lookup failed, so its details are unknown rather than absent.
- Fourteen routes cover two ranges in pieces of six different sizes.
- Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Three brands in the netnames and a fourth company in every contact list is a merger history written into the address records, each layer added without removing the one beneath it.
- Spelling the full legal company name inside a role handle makes those handles enormous and pins them to a name that changes every time the company is restructured.
- No IPv6 at all from a mobile operator is increasingly rare, since handset networks were among the first places it became necessary.

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: 454 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-11-08. 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.
