Summary
Slovanet
isp broadband legacy
SLOVANET-BROADBAND is the broadband access network of Slovanet a.s., one of Slovakia's larger alternative telecoms operators. This AS carries the company's subscriber access, as distinct from its corporate and infrastructure networks.
What it's used for
- Roughly 83,000 addresses across thirteen prefixes.
- The reverse DNS is textbook eyeball addressing, and it names the access technology in the zone:
85-135-192-NN.adsl.slovanet.skfor DSL lines,176-61-192-NN.wmx.slovanet.skfor the WiMAX/fixed-wireless estate,178-253-170-NN.vdial.slovanet.skfor dial-style access, and188-112-64-NN.3pp.slovanet.sk. - The newer
185.37.240.0/22resolves toNN.cgn-stl.slovanet.sk— carrier-grade NAT, so many subscribers share each address there.
Notable
- Residential and small-business access space. An address here is a Slovak home or small office, and the technology label in the hostname tells you which access product it sits behind.
- The CGN block matters for attribution: addresses in it are shared across many subscribers, so a single IP does not identify one household.

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 1,771 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.
