Summary
OPQ Net
residential isp fiber wireless
OPQ is the autonomous system for OPQ Net, a citizen-owned internet service provider in Botswana.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential and business internet connectivity, with the operator describing services as "Reliable Fiber Internet" and "wireless wide area networks" in Gaborone and Francistown.
- The AS announces 5120 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes (
41.75.0.0/20and196.45.164.0/22) and maintains only 1 observed neighbour, a ratio indicative of an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- Both announced prefixes are registered to
OPQ Netunder the netnameORG-ON1-AFRINIC, confirming the registrant matches the AS holder. - OPQ Net is described as a 100% citizen-owned provider operating its own Metro Ethernet backbone and wireless infrastructure in Botswana.
- The inventory consists of two distinct IPv4 blocks with no announced IPv6 prefixes.

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: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
