Summary
CANTV Servicios, Venezuela
isp residential legacy
CANTV is Venezuela's state-owned incumbent telephone company, and this is its main
Autonomous System — the country's largest consumer internet network.
What it's used for
- Residential and small-business broadband (CANTV's ADSL service, marketed as ABA) plus dial-up-era legacy access. Subscriber prefixes resolve under
cantv.netwith per-city pool names, for exampleIP-ADDR-bto-03-p68.cantv.netandIP-ADDR-mil-06-p70.cantv.net. - CANTV's own core and data-centre infrastructure, which resolves separately (
.core.cantv.net,.datacenter..cantv.net,.gw.cantv.net).
Notable
- Roughly 2.5 million IPv4 addresses across several hundred prefixes, nearly all of it end-user access space. An IP here is a Venezuelan consumer or small business, not a server.
- CANTV was nationalised in 2007, so this is a government-owned network carrying ordinary eyeball traffic. Treat it as an ISP, not as a government network.
Interesting
- The rDNS labels encode the serving exchange (
bto,mil,cha, and others), which makes CANTV one of the easier large ISPs to break down by city purely from reverse DNS.
