Summary
Phibee Telecom
isp transit hosting legacy
Phibee Telecom SAS (PHIBEE) is a French network service provider based at La Grand-Croix, near Saint-Étienne. It sells connectivity, transit and hosting to businesses, and peers openly across European exchange points.
What it's used for
- Business internet access and IP transit for French companies, plus a handful of downstream networks that reach the internet through it.
- Hosting and colocation on the operator's own address space; several hundred domains resolve into these prefixes.
Notable
- A carrier-shaped network rather than a consumer one: PeeringDB lists it as an NSP with a balanced traffic ratio and an open peering policy, and it buys from several tier-1 upstreams while serving its own downstreams.
- Reverse DNS is uniform operator-owned naming (
IP-WITH-DASHES.ripe.phibee-telecom.net) across the whole footprint. There are no PPPoE or dynamic subscriber pools, so this is not an eyeball network. - Around 26,000 IPv4 addresses in a dozen prefixes, plus IPv6.
Interesting
- The prefixes come from a mix of older and newer RIPE ranges rather than one early aggregate, so the low AS number is the most historical thing about the network.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
