Unclassified APNIC
Summary
Spark New Zealand
telecom residential mobile business
GENI-SDP-NZ-AS-AP is operated by Spark New Zealand Trading Limited.
What it's used for
- The address space carries customer and infrastructure traffic, evidenced by the
SPARKNZnetname across all prefixes and reverse DNS entries pointing tocid.global-gateway.net.nz. - The AS announces 2560 IPv4 addresses across 5 prefixes while maintaining only 1 observed neighbour, a ratio characteristic of an access network terminating traffic rather than providing transit.
- As New Zealand's primary telecommunications provider, this space carries subscriber broadband, mobile data, and fixed-line telephone traffic for residential and business customers.
Notable
- All registrants for the announced prefixes are listed as Spark New Zealand Trading Limited, consistent with the AS holder.
- The operator was formerly known as Telecom New Zealand before rebranding to Spark New Zealand.
- The inventory consists of five distinct IPv4 blocks with no IPv6 prefixes announced.

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.
