Summary
Bestel
isp cable dsl residential
AS18734 is operated by Operbes, S.A. de C.V., the corporate entity behind the Bestel internet service provider.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential and business customer traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
static-187-164-72-0.bestelclientes.com.mxandstatic-187-164-4-0.bestelclientes.com.mx. - The AS announces 205,448 IPv4 addresses across 444 prefixes and 4 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining 109 observed neighbours; this high address-to-neighbour ratio indicates an access network serving end-users rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- Most registrants align with the announcer, with
Operbes, S.A. de C.V.listed for the majority of prefixes, though148.229.0.0/16is registered toUNIVERSIDAD AUTONOMA DE CHIHUAHUA. - The inventory consists of a large, finely subdivided block of IPv4 space, including a /16 and numerous /20 and /22 prefixes, consistent with a regional ISP managing customer allocations.

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: 431 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
