Summary
MainOne
transit telecom africa wholesale
The AS handle MAINONE is operated by MainOne Cable Company.
What it's used for
- The address space carries wholesale telecommunications infrastructure, with registrants including Main one Cable Company Nigeria Limited, MainOne Cable Company (Ghana) Ltd, and MainOne COTE D'IVOIRE.
- The AS announces 105728 IPv4 addresses across 7 prefixes and 3 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining 776 observed neighbours; this high neighbour-to-address ratio indicates a transit or wholesale provider role rather than an access network.

- The address inventory is dominated by large blocks such as 154.113.0.0/16 and 45.222.192.0/18, consistent with a major regional carrier managing significant capacity.

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 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
