AS37225 NETWIDE
Unclassified AFRINIC NSP
Summary
Netwide Internet Services
isp regional south-africa
NETWIDE is operated by Netwide Internet Services cc.
What it's used for
- The address space is registered under the netname
ORG-NISc1-AFRINICfor both announced prefixes, indicating a single corporate holder. - The AS announces 10240 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes (41.85.224.0/19 and 41.76.176.0/21) and maintains 14 observed neighbours. This ratio of moderate address space to a significant number of peering partners suggests a regional network service provider (NSP) role rather than a large-scale transit backbone or a small enterprise site.
Notable
- The RDAP registrants for both prefixes match the AS holder, Netwide Internet Services cc, confirming consistent ownership of the announced space.
- The inventory consists of two contiguous IPv4 blocks in South Africa with no IPv6 prefixes announced.
- PeeringDB identifies the operator as a regional NSP, aligning with the routing metrics observed in the RIS data.

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: 432 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.
