Residential RIPE Cable/DSL/ISP
Summary
iWay
isp residential legacy
iWay AG (IWAY) — a Zurich-based Swiss internet provider founded in 1995, selling broadband, VoIP, TV and mobile to households and small businesses across Switzerland, alongside hosting and cloud services.
What it's used for
- Consumer and SME internet access. iWay does not own much last-mile plant of its own: it resells fibre and DSL over Swisscom's wholesale BBCS product and over municipal utility FTTH networks, and its rDNS says exactly that. Addresses resolve as
D.C.B.A.bbcs.as8758.net(Swisscom wholesale access) andD.C.B.A.ftth.as8758.net(fibre), with the octets reversed. - Several netnames are blunter still:
AS8758-DYNAMIC-DSL-DHCP-POOLcovers a number of the /22s.
Notable
- This is an eyeball network — roughly 159,000 IPv4 addresses that mostly sit behind residential CPE, not servers. iWay is a meaningful fraction of Swiss end-user population despite being far smaller than Swisscom or Sunrise.
- The prefix list is scattered across many small blocks, but every one is registered in Switzerland under iWay's own
AS8758-MNTmaintainer (or that of a partner utility such as SAK, whose FTTH pools it also announces). Untidy, but a real operator's own space.
Interesting
125.3.64.0/19and155.2.224.0/19sit in what were originally APNIC and ARIN ranges, yet both are RIPE objects registered in Switzerland. Inferring a network's region from the historical owner of its/8would put Swiss homes in Asia-Pacific and North America.

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: 431 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
