Summary
Hondutel
isp legacy
Autonomous System 7727 belongs to Hondutel (Empresa Hondureña de Telecomunicaciones), the state-owned incumbent telecommunications operator of Honduras, headquartered in Tegucigalpa.
What it's used for
- Carrying Hondutel's internet service in Honduras: fixed broadband and ADSL for homes and businesses, corporate internet products, and the operator's own network infrastructure.
- Announcing roughly 83,000 IPv4 addresses, almost all LACNIC space in
181.210.0.0/16and190.130.0.0/18. There is no IPv6.
Notable
- Hondutel is a government-owned company, but the AS is an ordinary access network rather than a government agency network — treat it as an ISP whose shareholder happens to be the Honduran state, not as government address space.
- Reverse DNS is effectively absent across the entire range. That is common among Latin American incumbents but it means there is no independent confirmation from rDNS of the residential-versus-business split inside the space; the operator's own product line (consumer ADSL plus corporate service) is the main evidence available.
Interesting
- Hondutel was created in 1976 and for years was administered by the Honduran armed forces, telecommunications being treated as a matter of national security. Repeated privatisation attempts failed — most notably a 2000 tender where the sole remaining bid came in at roughly a third of the government's expectation and was rejected — leaving it state-owned to this day.

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: 442 networks and 1,772 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
