Summary
Cable & Wireless Seychelles
mobile residential isp telecom
The AS handle CWSeychelles-AS is held by Cable & Wireless (Seychelles) Ltd.
What it's used for
- The address space carries mobile and fixed-line services for the Seychelles market, evidenced by the registrant's identity as a telecommunications provider offering 5G, internet, and TV.
- The AS announces 19,456 IPv4 addresses across 10 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining 39 observed neighbours; this ratio of moderate address inventory to a high number of peering partners suggests a regional access and transit role.
Notable
- Registrants for the majority of prefixes, including 41.86.32.0/19 and 197.157.96.0/20, align with the announcer, all listed under the netname ORG-ACW1-AFRINIC.
- The address inventory is subdivided into multiple blocks, including a large /19 and several /22s and /24s, reflecting a segmented corporate estate for different service tiers or geographic sites.

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 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
