AS37187 SKYBAND
Unclassified ARIN Cable/DSL/ISP
Summary
Skyband
isp residential cable malawi
The AS handle SKYBAND is operated by Inq. Digital Limited.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential and business internet access, evidenced by the PeeringDB classification as a Cable/DSL/ISP and the registrant netname
ORG-SCL2-AFRINIC. - The AS announces 14,336 IPv4 addresses across 9 prefixes and 16 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining 20 observed neighbours; this ratio of address volume to peering partners is consistent with an access network serving end-users rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- Registrants for the majority of the largest prefixes, including 41.75.112.0/20 and 197.211.96.0/20, are listed as Inq. Digital Limited, aligning with the AS holder.
- The address inventory is composed of multiple /20, /21, /22, /23, and /24 blocks, with several smaller prefixes in the 197.211.120.0/24 range showing unknown registrants in the RDAP sample.

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: 448 networks and 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-10-29. 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.
