Summary
Global Broadband Solution
isp cd broadband nsp
KIN-AS is operated by Global Broadband Solution Inc.
What it's used for
- The address space carries broadband access traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
0.221.fki.af.gbs.cdand254.222.mat.af.gbs.cdwhich indicate specific regional or site-based segments within the operator's network. - The AS announces 5120 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes and 2 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining 66 observed neighbours; this ratio of moderate address space to high peering count indicates a regional network service provider (NSP) role.
- Traffic from this AS consists of subscriber internet access and business connectivity services, as the operator provides WiMAX, VSAT, and unlimited volume internet services in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Notable
- Registrants for all announced prefixes are consistent with the announcer, listing
Global Broadband Solution IncorGlobal Broadband Solutionfor the US and AFRINIC blocks. - The address inventory is geographically diverse, including blocks from the US (31.209.128.0/21, 217.171.88.0/21) and AFRINIC (197.215.220.0/22), reflecting the operator's international infrastructure and peering relationships.

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.
