mobile residential isp telecom

VODAFONEQATAR is operated by Vodafone Qatar P.Q.S.C.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries mobile and fixed-line subscriber traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as c3718634254.vodafone.net.qa and mta-4.vodafone.qa.
  • The AS announces 17,152 IPv4 addresses across 24 prefixes and 45 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining 33 observed neighbours, a ratio consistent with a regional access network rather than a transit provider.
  • As a major telecommunications operator in Qatar, this network handles cellular mobile services, home internet, and fixed-line communications for both consumer and business customers.

Notable

  • All sampled registrants are listed as Vodafone Qatar P.Q.S.C, matching the AS holder and confirming a unified corporate estate.
  • The inventory includes a mix of /21, /22, /23, and /24 blocks, with netnames like QA-VODAFONEQATAR-991109 and QA-VODAFONEQATAR-20120320 indicating long-standing and expanded allocations.

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: 431 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.
