Summary
e-Quest IT-diensten
isp cable dsl regional
EQuest-AS is operated by e-Quest IT-diensten B.V.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential broadband traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
5-206-219-254.breedbandhelmond.nland185.231.27-255.breedbandhelmond.nl. - The AS announces 31,744 IPv4 addresses across 26 prefixes and maintains 120 observed neighbours, a ratio consistent with a regional access provider rather than a transit carrier.
- Traffic from this AS consists of subscriber eyeballs for cable and DSL services in the Helmond, Veghel, and Venlo regions of the Netherlands.
Notable
- All sampled registrants align with the announcer, listing
NOC; e-Quest IT-diensten B.V.; Abuse-C Rolefor prefixes including5.206.208.0/20and91.189.224.0/21. - The operator is also known as Breedband Helmond B.V., reflecting its origins as a local cable operator before rebranding.
- The inventory is finely subdivided into numerous /22 and /21 blocks, typical of a regional ISP managing distinct customer segments or geographic zones.

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: 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.
