Summary
China Unicom (China169)
isp eyeball backbone
China Unicom's China169 backbone (CHINA169-BACKBONE) — the second of China's
big state-owned carriers, serving fixed broadband especially in the north.
What it's used for
- Fixed-line broadband and backbone connectivity for a very large subscriber base across China.
Notable
- State-owned "eyeball" network; international traffic is subject to China's national filtering.
- Together with China Telecom (AS4134) and China Mobile (AS9808), it carries the bulk of Chinese consumer internet.
Interesting
- China Unicom historically dominated the northern provinces while China Telecom led the south — a split that still shapes domestic routing.
