Unclassified APNIC NSP
Summary
SMITCOMS
residential isp telecom sx
The AS handle SMITCOMS N.V. is held by SMITCOMS, also known as the TELEM Group of Companies.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential and DSL access traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
ip-131-161-085-000.v4.isp.telem.sxand168-000-085-000.xdsl.telemgroup.sx. - The network announces 11008 IPv4 addresses and 17 IPv6 prefixes across 14 IPv4 prefixes, while maintaining only 7 observed neighbours, a ratio indicative of an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- Registrants include SMITCOMS N.V., TELEM GROUP, TELCELL NV, St. Maarten Cable TV, and Verizon Business, reflecting a mix of owned and historically acquired or leased address blocks.
- The address inventory is fragmented across multiple /22 and /23 blocks, including a large /21 block, suggesting a network that has grown through various acquisitions or allocations over time.

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.
