Summary
M-net
isp residential legacy
M-net Telekommunikations GmbH (MNET-AS) — a regional German ISP based in Munich, majority-owned by the city's municipal utility group. It sells fibre and DSL broadband, telephony and TV across Bavaria, and business connectivity alongside it.
What it's used for
- Mass-market broadband. Around 520,000 IPv4 addresses, and the rDNS is emphatically subscriber-shaped:
ppp-IP-ADDR.dynamic.mnet-online.defor dynamic access lines,aftr-IP-ADDR.dynamic.mnet-online.defor DS-Lite (IPv6-only lines reaching IPv4 through a carrier NAT), andhost-IP-ADDR.customer.m-online.netfor static customer assignments. Netnames likeMNET-DSLsay the same thing. - Business customers ride the same AS: several legacy
/16-class blocks in the inventory are registered to named German firms (KONTRONNET,MROFFfor manroland) that M-net announces on their behalf.
Notable
- This is an eyeball network: the bulk of the space is home users behind CPE, a large share of them behind DS-Lite carrier NAT, so the visible address count understates the population.
- The prefix list is long and untidy — a
46.244.128.0/17DSL core plus dozens of small later blocks and inherited customer legacy space. Every block is German and registered either to M-net's own maintainer or to an identifiable customer, so this is an acquisitive regional carrier rather than an address broker.
Interesting
- M-net exists because Munich's Stadtwerke decided to build fibre themselves rather than wait for Deutsche Telekom. Municipal-utility ISPs are a recurring German pattern, and they tend to reach fibre penetration well ahead of the national average in their own cities.

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.
