Summary
Gibtelecom
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.comacross 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 undercloud.gib.gibtele.comandcloud.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/24deaggregates 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
/24announcements out of its own/19s are traffic-engineering deaggregates, not separate holders.

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 1,784 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.
