Summary

Gibtelecom

Gibraltar · AI-generated

isp legacy

GIBTELECOMNET is Gibtelecom, the incumbent telecommunications operator of

Gibraltar. It is the territory's main provider of fixed broadband, mobile,

voice and business connectivity, and this AS carries the great majority of

Gibraltar's internet addresses.

What it's used for

  • Retail internet access. Reverse DNS is unambiguous: subscriber addresses resolve as N.N.N.N.dsl.dynamic.gibconnect.com across most of the announced space, the classic reversed-octet dynamic-pool naming of a consumer DSL network.
  • Operator services and hosting on the side: mail hosts under gibtelecom.net, and cloud nodes under cloud.gib.gibtele.com and cloud.rockolo.gi.
  • The inventory is a few large blocks (178.208.192.0/19, 195.244.192.0/19, 217.65.48.0/20) plus many /24 deaggregates carved out of them.

Notable

  • An eyeball network. Addresses here sit in front of homes and small businesses, so they geolocate to actual Gibraltar residents rather than to servers. For a territory of this size a single AS covers effectively the whole population.
  • Because Gibraltar is small and Gibtelecom dominant, this AS is close to being a proxy for "Gibraltar" in geolocation data. That makes it a common origin for online gaming and finance traffic, which are large industries there.
  • The many /24 announcements out of its own /19s are traffic-engineering deaggregates, not separate holders.
