Summary
Brandenburg Telephone Company
residential dsl telecom local
The AS handle BBTEL is operated by Brandenburg Telephone Company, a local telecommunications provider based in Brandenburg, Kentucky.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential DSL and static IP services, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
72-2-244-0.pool.dsl.bbtel.comand64-57-170-0.static.dsl.bbtel.com. - The network announces 33024 IPv4 addresses across 17 prefixes and 9 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining only 2 observed routing neighbours, a ratio indicative of a local access network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- All registrants for the largest prefixes are listed as Brandenburg Telephone Company, with netnames including
BRAND-3andBBTEL-01, confirming consistent ownership of the announced space. - The inventory consists of multiple /20 and /21 blocks alongside finer /23 and /24 subdivisions, reflecting a segmented local service area.

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: 447 networks and 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-10-30. 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.
