Summary
Makedonski Telekom
isp legacy
MT-AS-OWN is Makedonski Telekom AD-Skopje, North Macedonia's incumbent telecommunications operator and a Deutsche Telekom subsidiary. It is the country's largest network, announcing around 90 prefixes and over 300,000 IPv4 addresses.
What it's used for
- Fixed broadband access above all. The registry names are explicit: a
/17of the company's46.217.0.0/16allocation is assigned with netnameMT-ADSLand described as "ADSL IP subnet", while other blocks carryMT-Telekom,Maktel_BusinessandMT-MTNET-IP-BACKBONE. - Those netnames map the network cleanly onto its parts: subscriber pools, business assignments, and the operator's own IP backbone.
Notable
- Read this as an eyeball network. The dominant use of the address space is residential and small-business broadband in Macedonia, with business and backbone addressing occupying much smaller shares.
- The address in the registry,
bul. Orce Nikolov bb, is a street in Skopje, not a company name — a common way for registry records to look like they name an unfamiliar organisation when they do not.
Interesting
- Makedonski Telekom absorbed the country's T-Mobile mobile operation into a single company, so one incumbent now covers fixed, mobile and TV under one brand. The
-OWNsuffix on the AS name is the operator distinguishing its own network from the customer-facing objects it also maintains.

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: 442 networks and 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
