Residential RIPE
Summary
OTEnet (OTE / Cosmote, Greece)
isp residential eyeball legacy
OTENET-GR — the consumer internet network of **OTE SA (Hellenic
Telecommunications Organisation)**, Greece's incumbent telecom operator and part
of the Deutsche Telekom group. OTEnet was OTE's internet service arm, later folded
into the OTE/Cosmote retail business.
What it's used for
- Greek residential and small-business broadband. Reverse DNS on the subscriber blocks is unambiguous:
ppp-2-84-10-20.home.otenet.gr. - The AS carries roughly two million IPv4 addresses across large blocks such as
79.128.0.0/16,2.84.0.0/16,85.74.0.0/16and178.147.0.0/16.
Notable
- This is Greece's largest eyeball network — an incumbent access AS, not a transit or hosting one.
- The
otenet.grdomain persists in reverse DNS long after the OTEnet brand was retired in favour of Cosmote, a familiar fossil in incumbent networks.
Interesting
- Because so much Greek residential traffic sits behind this one AS, it is a common single point of reference in Greek geolocation and abuse data.
