Summary
Syrian Telecom (STE)
isp residential eyeball dsl backbone
Syrian Telecommunications (ORG-STE1-RIPE) — the state-owned incumbent operator and the largest internet provider in Syria.
What it's used for
- Fixed home broadband (largely DSL) and the national backbone/international gateway for consumers across Syria.
Notable
- The dominant "eyeball" network in the country: addresses here are Syrian home connections, not servers.
- As the state incumbent it operates most of Syria's fixed-line access and international transit.
Interesting
- Being the near-monopoly gateway, this network sits at the centre of Syria's connectivity and has repeatedly been visible in national-scale internet outage measurements.

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: 448 networks and 1,851 prefixes, as published 2026-11-03. 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.
