Summary
NOS (Portugal)
isp residential eyeball cable fiber
NOS Comunicações (NOS) — one of Portugal's largest residential operators,
formed from the 2013 merger of ZON and Optimus.
What it's used for
- Cable and fibre home internet, plus pay-TV and mobile, for consumers across Portugal.
Notable
- A large Portuguese "eyeball" network: addresses here are home connections, not servers, and are often behind carrier-grade NAT.
- Competes with MEO (Altice) and Vodafone as one of the top consumer broadband providers in the country.
Interesting
- The "ZON" heritage comes from the cable-TV business spun out of Portugal Telecom; the Optimus merger added a mobile arm to create a full quad-play operator.
