isp residential afghanistan cable

The AS handle INSTATELECOM-AS-AP is held by Instatelecom Limited.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries residential and business internet access, evidenced by netnames such as INSTA-KBL-AF and INSTA-KDR-AF which denote specific city or district segments in Kabul and Khost.
  • The network announces 11,776 IPv4 addresses across 14 prefixes while maintaining only 2 observed neighbours, a ratio characteristic of an access network serving local subscribers rather than a transit provider.
  • Traffic from this AS consists of subscriber eyeballs for cable and DSL services provided by Instatelecom, a leading Internet Service Provider in Afghanistan.

Notable

  • All registrants in the RDAP data align with the announcer, consistently listing Instatelecom Limited or the IRT IRT-INSTATELECOM-AF.
  • The inventory is finely subdivided into /22, /23, and /24 blocks, reflecting a site-by-site or district-by-district segmentation of the corporate estate.

Classification and threat

Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.

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 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
