isp residential benin cable

SBIN is operated by Société Béninoise d'Infrastructures Numériques.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries residential and business internet access in Benin, evidenced by the reverse DNS record sbin.bj and the netname ORG-SBDN1-AFRINIC.
  • With 28,928 IPv4 addresses announced across 38 prefixes and 15 observed neighbours, the ratio indicates a regional access provider rather than a transit hub.

Notable

  • Registrants for the majority of announced prefixes, including 137.255.224.0/19 and 41.85.184.0/21, align with the announcer, identified as SOCIETE BENINOISE D'INFRASTRUCTURES NUMERIQUES.
  • The inventory consists of a mix of /19, /21, /22, and /23 blocks, with the largest allocation being 137.255.224.0/19.

Classification and threat

Residential Fixed-line consumer ISP. Addresses here are homes.

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.
