Summary
Utande Internet Services
isp residential business zimbabwe
UTANDE is operated by Utande Internet Services (Pvt) Ltd.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential and business connectivity, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
ip-net-196-43-107-254.africaonline.co.zw,iwayafrica-uhf-gw-arundel.iwayafrica.co.zw, andgikko-ce.utande.co.zw. - The AS announces 16,384 IPv4 addresses across 16 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining 25 observed neighbours; this ratio of address space to peering partners is consistent with an access network serving end-users rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- Registrants for the largest prefixes include AFRICA ONLINE ZIMBABWE, Africa Online Operations (Mauritius) Limited, and Utande Internet Services (Pvt) Ltd, indicating a shared or historically linked address inventory.
- Utande Internet Services is a subsidiary of Dandemutande Investments (Private) Limited, a licensed Internet Access Provider in Zimbabwe.
- The inventory includes a mix of /20, /21, /22, /23, and /24 prefixes, with some blocks registered to Africa Online entities and others to Utande directly.

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.
