Summary
Help Internet
isp residential brazil cable
HELP INTERNET is the AS handle for Help Internet, a regional cable and DSL internet service provider operating in Brazil.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential and small business subscriber traffic, consistent with the operator's classification as a Cable/DSL/ISP.
- The AS announces 5,120 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and 70 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining 33 observed routing neighbours; this ratio of moderate address space to a significant number of peers indicates a regional access network that aggregates traffic from multiple upstream providers.
- Traffic from this AS consists of end-user internet access, including web browsing, streaming, and VoIP services for subscribers in the Brazilian market.
Notable
- Both announced IPv4 prefixes, 177.130.16.0/20 and 138.118.252.0/22, list
HELP INTERNETas the registrant, confirming alignment between the routing announcer and the registry holder. - The inventory is composed of two distinct IPv4 blocks and a large number of granular IPv6 prefixes, reflecting a typical allocation pattern for a growing regional ISP managing individual customer subnets.

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: 442 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-24. 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.
