Summary
Qualitynet (QNET)
isp residential legacy
QNET is Quality Net (Qualitynet General Trading & Contracting Co.), a long-established Kuwaiti internet service provider.
What it's used for
The AS is a substantial eyeball network: ~442 IPv4 prefixes and ~148k addresses across 62.150.0.0, 78.154.0.0, 94.29.0.0 and 195.226.0.0 ranges, with ~23 observed neighbours. Sampled reverse DNS is unambiguous subscriber naming, e.g. xdsl-62-150-55-1.qualitynet.net DSL broadband pools.
Notable
- The
xdsl-IP-ADDR.qualitynet.netPTR pattern is textbook consumer/SMB DSL access, which places this squarely as a retail broadband ISP rather than a pure business carrier. - A large prefix count paired with a moderate neighbour count is the fingerprint of a national access provider, not a wholesale transit backbone.

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: 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.
