isp residential fiber india

RAINBOWISP-AS is operated by Rainbow Communications India Pvt Ltd.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries residential broadband traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries pointing to rainbowisp.in and server.rainbowisp.in.
  • The AS announces 10,752 IPv4 addresses across 19 prefixes and 19 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining 11 observed neighbours; this ratio indicates an access network providing last-mile connectivity rather than transit.
  • Traffic from this AS consists of subscriber eyeballs accessing the internet via Fiber To The Home broadband technology, as the operator is a regional ISP in Tamil Nadu.

Notable

  • Registrants for the majority of prefixes align with the announcer, showing netnames RAINBOWISP and RAINBOW under IRT-RAINBOWISP-IN and IRT-RAINBOW-IN, though some blocks are registered under distinct handles like SANGAKPM, MADESH26, CLOUDV, AIRWAYA, AIRDATASP, and DOCOMISP.
  • The address inventory is fragmented into multiple /22, /23, and /24 blocks, with a mix of 45.x, 103.x, and 163.x ranges, suggesting organic growth or acquisition of smaller IP blocks over time.

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: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
