Residential AFRINIC
Summary
MyTelnet
residential isp cable dsl
The AS handle BI is operated by MyTelnet, a South African broadband provider.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential customer traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
static-client.mytelnet.co.za. - The network announces 6144 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining 20 observed neighbours. This ratio of address space to peering partners indicates an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- The RDAP registrants for both announced IPv4 prefixes are listed as Broadband Innovations, matching the registry holder name.
- The address inventory consists of two distinct IPv4 blocks, 102.38.32.0/20 and 41.217.240.0/21, both registered under the netname ORG-BI1-AFRINIC.

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 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
