Summary
Bayan Telecommunications (BayanTel)
isp legacy
BAYAN-TELECOMMUNICATIONS is Bayan Telecommunications, Inc. ("BayanTel"), a Philippine fixed-line and broadband carrier. Globe Telecom took majority control in 2015 and BayanTel now operates as a Globe subsidiary.
What it's used for
- Fixed broadband and business connectivity across the Philippines, carried on the legacy BayanTel network that Globe absorbed.
- Announces roughly 300k IPv4 addresses across a few hundred prefixes, mostly APNIC space; reverse DNS across the subscriber ranges resolves under
bti.net.ph.
Notable
- An eyeball network, not a backbone: the address space is broadband subscriber and business-access pools, distinct from Globe's own primary AS.
- Bayan has also operated peering/exchange initiatives aimed at keeping Philippine traffic domestic rather than hairpinning through Hong Kong or the US.
Interesting
- The BayanTel brand has been steadily wound down inside Globe, but the AS and its address space remain very much in service — a common pattern where the network outlives the brand that built it.

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: 432 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
