Summary
Telekomi i Kosovës (Kosovo Telecom)
isp legacy
PTK is Telekomi i Kosovës SH.A. (Kosovo Telecom), the country's incumbent operator — the former Post and Telecommunications of Kosovo. The handle's "IP/MPLS Network" suffix names the carrier core; the AS is the company's main routing identity.
What it's used for
- The incumbent's retail and carrier network in Kosovo: fixed broadband and telephony, plus the Vala mobile brand. About 42,000 IPv4 addresses, dominated by
178.175.0.0/17with the older213.163.96.0/19alongside.
Notable
- Only three observed BGP neighbours. For a national incumbent that is strikingly few — Kosovo Telecom buys transit from a small number of upstreams and originates its own space rather than acting as a regional carrier.
- No PTRs were returned on the addresses sampled inside its prefixes. That is not proof the zones are undelegated, but it does mean the fixed-versus-mobile split of this space cannot be read from reverse DNS; the classification rests on the operator's role as Kosovo's retail incumbent.
Interesting
- Some geolocation databases place this AS in Albania rather than Kosovo. The registered holder is in Pristina, and measurement traces inside
178.175.0.0/17land there.

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: 442 networks and 1,772 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.
