Summary
Fink Telecom Services
hosting transit legacy
FINK-TELECOM-SERVICES — the network of Fink Telecom Services GmbH, a small Swiss telecommunications engineering company operated by Andreas Fink.
What it's used for
- Telecom infrastructure services: SS7/mobile signalling, messaging, and related protocol work, alongside IP transit and virtual/dedicated server hosting.
- The address space carries the company's own platform and points of presence rather than a subscriber base. Reverse DNS reads as PoP naming (
basel-iwb-p1.fink-telecom.com,istanbul-yfs10.fink-telecom.com).
Notable
- Multi-PoP for its size: the RIPE object lists presence in Frankfurt, Zurich, Amsterdam, Paris, Lisbon, Basel and Istanbul, peering at DE-CIX, AMS-IX, SwissIX, France-IX and Equinix exchanges with an open policy.
- A single-operator network holding a four-digit AS number — the registry entry is literally "Andreas Fink trading as Fink Telecom Services GmbH".
Interesting
- The mix of SS7/signalling work with IP transit is unusual; most networks of this size do one or the other.

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: 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.
