Summary
MEO / Altice Portugal
isp residential eyeball dsl fiber backbone
MEO - Serviços de Comunicações e Multimédia (MEO) — Portugal's incumbent telecom, the former Portugal Telecom, now owned by Altice.
What it's used for
- Fibre and DSL home broadband, pay-TV and mobile, plus the national backbone, across Portugal.
Notable
- A large Portuguese "eyeball" network of consumer end users, not servers.
- The historic incumbent and one of the top residential broadband providers, competing with NOS and Vodafone.
Interesting
- The MEO brand consolidated Portugal Telecom's fixed and mobile retail offerings; the Altice acquisition folded it into the wider Altice group.

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: 442 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-23. 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.
