Summary
Vodafone Idea (Vi)
isp mobile eyeball
Vodafone Idea, branded Vi, is one of India's large national mobile operators, formed from the merger of Vodafone India and Idea Cellular.
What it's used for
- Mobile data for a very large Indian subscriber base, plus mobile-broadband home internet.
Notable
- A large "eyeball" network: addresses here are typically mobile devices, often behind carrier-grade NAT, so one public IP can map to many users.
- One of the three main private operators in India, competing with Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel.
Interesting
- The 2018 Vodafone India + Idea Cellular merger created the operator; it has since fought a well-publicised battle over India's adjusted-gross-revenue (AGR) dues.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-28, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Mobile Cellular carrier. Addresses are shared by many handsets via CGNAT.
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: 448 networks and 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-10-29. 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.
