Summary
WIOCC
isp backbone
WIOCC (WIOCC, West Indian Ocean Cable Company) — a pan-African wholesale carrier and submarine-cable operator, headquartered in Mauritius.
What it's used for
- Wholesale capacity, transit, and backbone connectivity sold to other carriers and ISPs across Africa.
Notable
- Not an end-user network: WIOCC is a carrier's carrier, so addresses here relate to backbone and wholesale infrastructure rather than consumer devices.
- A major investor in and user of submarine cables serving the African continent.
Interesting
- WIOCC was founded around the EASSy submarine cable and has since become one of the larger open-access wholesale backbone operators in Africa.

Reputation
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: 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.
