Residential AFRINIC Cable/DSL/ISP
Summary
Globe Internet Limited
isp residential business malawi
The AS handle globe-as is operated by Globe Internet Limited.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential and business connectivity, evidenced by the reverse DNS record
bt-fiber-intl-border-1.globemw.netwhich indicates fiber-based access infrastructure. - The network announces 5120 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes and 2 IPv6 prefixes, maintaining 6 observed neighbours. This ratio of moderate address space against a low neighbour count suggests an access or eyeball network role rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- All registrants for the announced prefixes are consistent with the announcer, identified as
globe internet limitedwith the netnameORG-gil1-AFRINIC. - The address inventory consists of three distinct IPv4 blocks: 41.77.8.0/21, 154.66.120.0/21, and 41.216.228.0/22, alongside two 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: 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.
