Summary
Proximus
isp mobile eyeball backbone
Proximus (BELGACOM) — Belgium's incumbent telecom operator, providing fixed broadband, TV, landline, and mobile services. Formerly known as Belgacom.
What it's used for
- Fixed broadband and TV for Belgian homes, plus mobile data (4G/5G) and enterprise connectivity.
Notable
- A large "eyeball" network — addresses are consumer home connections and mobile devices, often behind carrier-grade NAT.
- The national incumbent, majority-owned by the Belgian state, competing with Orange Belgium (AS47377) and Telenet.
Interesting
- Rebranded from Belgacom to Proximus in 2015, unifying its fixed and mobile businesses under a single consumer brand.

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: 442 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
