Summary

Bahamas Telecommunications Company (BTC)

Bahamas · AI-generated

isp residential legacy

BATELNET — the network of the Bahamas Telecommunications Company, the incumbent telecommunications operator of The Bahamas. Registered with ARIN in 1996 under the corporation's older name, it is the country's principal eyeball network.

What it's used for

  • Residential and business internet access across the Bahamian islands, plus the operator's mobile and fixed-line services.
  • BTC's own hosting, mail and DNS for its subscribers.

Notable

  • Reverse DNS settles the kind: addresses resolve as d-63-245-112-1.batelnet.bs — a dynamic subscriber naming pattern, one host per address, under the operator's own .bs domain. This is an access network.
  • The inventory is a patchwork of ARIN blocks (204.236.64.0/18 fragments, 63.245.112.0/20, 108.60.224.0/19, 216.137.0.0/21, 104.166.32.0/20) registered to BTC and its predecessor entities, announced as roughly 24 prefixes and ~41k addresses. Small in absolute terms, but this is a 400,000-person country.
  • Only a handful of BGP neighbours: an island incumbent buys transit from a couple of mainland carriers and does not need to peer widely.

Interesting

  • The .bs reverse names carry the older BaTelNet brand, which is where the ASN handle comes from. Like most handles, it has outlived the branding.

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 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
