Residential APNIC Cable/DSL/ISP
Summary
UniFone New Zealand
residential isp new-zealand fixed
UNIFONENETWORKS-AS-AP is operated by UniFone New Zealand Ltd.
What it's used for
- The address space carries fixed-line internet access for residential and business customers in the Dunedin and Otago regions, as indicated by the operator's service description and the
UNIFONENETWORKS-NZnetname. - The AS announces 6144 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes and 2 IPv6 prefixes, with 16 observed neighbours; this ratio of address space to peering partners is consistent with a regional access provider rather than a transit hub.
- Traffic from this AS consists of subscriber internet usage, including WiFi, Fibre, 3G/4G, and DSL connections for individuals and small businesses in the lower South Island of New Zealand.
Notable
- All registrants for the announced prefixes are
UNIFONE NEW ZEALAND LTD, matching the AS holder and confirming a single, unified corporate estate. - The address inventory is composed of three distinct IPv4 blocks: 182.54.160.0/20, 103.91.172.0/22, and 123.253.56.0/22, alongside two IPv6 prefixes.

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: 448 networks and 1,851 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.
