Residential RIPE Cable/DSL/ISP
Summary
SolNet (BSE Software)
transit isp legacy
SOLNET is operated by BSE Software GmbH of Solothurn, Switzerland, a long-running Swiss internet provider and carrier announcing ~101k addresses.
What it's used for
- Internet access and transit. SolNet peers at several Swiss and international exchanges and buys upstream from Arelion, Cogent and NTT; sampled reverse DNS includes hosting infrastructure (
mr-1-1.d11.hostname.systems) and customer gateways (gw1.yabalu.ch).
Notable
- ~1,270 observed BGP neighbours on a moderate address count is the signature of a wholesale/transit carrier, not an eyeball-only ISP, even though SolNet also sells access to Swiss end users.
- Continuously announced since 2000; allocated in 1998.

Reputation
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: 432 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.
