Unclassified AFRINIC
Summary
WIA Tanzania
isp residential business fixed
The AS handle WIA- is held by WIA Tanzania, a fixed-line internet service provider operating in Tanzania.
What it's used for
- The address space carries fixed internet access for residential and business customers, as indicated by the registrant netname
ORG-WIA1-AFRINICand the operator's description as a provider of unlimited home and business internet. - The AS announces 12,288 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining 18 observed neighbours; this ratio of moderate address space against a significant number of peering partners suggests a regional access network with substantial transit and peering relationships.
Notable
- The RDAP registrants for both announced IPv4 prefixes (
41.73.160.0/19and41.221.48.0/20) are consistently listed as WIA Tanzania, matching the AS holder. - The address inventory consists of two distinct IPv4 blocks and a single IPv6 prefix, all located in Tanzania, reflecting a focused national footprint.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
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 1,772 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
