Autonomous system
AS20294 MTN-
Unclassified AFRINIC
Summary
MTN Uganda
mobile residential uganda mtn
The AS handle MTN- is held by MTN Uganda.
What it's used for
- The space carries mobile subscriber traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS records pointing to
*.ips.mtn.co.ug(e.g.,hbff.n1.ips.mtn.co.ug). - With 25,856 IPv4 addresses announced across 42 prefixes and 29 observed neighbours, the ratio indicates an access network serving end-users rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- Registrants for the largest prefixes are consistently listed as MTN Uganda with the netname
ORG-MU2-AFRINIC, aligning with the AS holder. - The address inventory is finely subdivided into numerous /22 and /23 blocks within the 41.210.0.0/16 and 212.88.0.0/16 ranges, typical of a large mobile operator managing site-by-site segmentation.

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: 432 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.
