Summary
Meteor Mobile Communications
mobile isp telecom business
The reverse names say which carrier address-translation instance each subscriber sits behind.
What it's used for
- A mobile operator's network. Seven IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 prefix announced from Ireland, twenty-four thousand addresses, through a single observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- Every answering name is the four octets hyphenated, then a label naming a carrier-grade translation instance and its number, then a three-letter site code, then the mobile brand's domain.
- Two different site codes appear across the sample, so the label distinguishes where the translation happens as well as that it happens.
- The netnames use three conventions: a country code with a date, the brand with a country code, and a three-letter code with an abbreviation for mobile broadband.
- The parent company's name is written with a capital first letter in some contacts and entirely in lower case in others, within the same record.
- Twenty-four thousand addresses depend on a single upstream.
- Eighteen addresses were queried and nine returned a name.
Interesting
- Publishing the translation instance tells anyone reading a log that the address is shared, which matters because thousands of subscribers can sit behind one of them at once. It is the difference between attributing traffic to a person and to a device the size of a city.
- Three netname conventions and two spellings of one company name is a mobile brand absorbed into a fixed-line parent, with each field updated at whatever point somebody needed it changed.

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 1,781 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.
