Unclassified RIPE Cable/DSL/ISP
Summary
Alphalink
isp residential france dsl
The AS handle ALPHALINK-AS is held by Alphalink SASU.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential and business access traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries pointing to
reverse.alphalink.frand netnames such asFR-ALPHALINK-20040617andFR-INITSYS-19930709. - With 120,576 IPv4 addresses announced across 77 prefixes and 66 observed neighbours, the ratio indicates an access network providing connectivity to end-users rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- Registrants largely align with the announcer, listing Alphalink SASU and INIT SYS SAS (also referenced as INIT-SYS DBM) for the majority of prefixes, with one exception for
FR-QOSTELECOM-20080416registered to QoS Telecom. - The address inventory is a mix of legacy blocks inherited from INIT SYS and newer allocations, reflecting the operator's history of consolidation within the French ISP market.

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 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
