Summary
Net2000
isp residential hosting legacy
AS9461 (NET2000-AS-AP) is held by Net2000 Pty Ltd, a small Melbourne-based internet service provider operating out of Victoria. It sells consumer and small-business broadband along with domain registration, web hosting and ecommerce services — a long-lived independent ISP of the kind that predates Australia's NBN consolidation.
What it's used for
RIS observes 5 IPv4 prefixes covering 1,280 addresses, all of them /24s in legacy 203.x Australian space, and 1 BGP neighbour. No IPv6 is announced.
The reverse DNS is what makes this network legible, and it points squarely at last-mile access. Sampled PTRs return names like client-203-26-98-133.net2000.com.au, cpe-93-5.net2000.com.au and static-93-133.net2000.com.au — the client-, cpe- and static- conventions that access providers use for subscriber lines and statically assigned customer addresses. Alongside those, infrastructure names appear (popbox.net2000.com.au, spare.netcore.com.au, casandra.netcore.com.au), and one address resolves under precisionwireless.com.au, suggesting the same address pool also carries a fixed-wireless brand.
A single upstream on 1,280 addresses confirms the role: this is a leaf network buying transit and reselling access, not a carrier. The address count is small because the customer base is, and because much of it is likely NAT'd behind the routable pool.
Notable
- Three distinct domains appear in the reverse DNS of one small address pool (
net2000.com.au,netcore.com.au,precisionwireless.com.au), which is typical of a small ISP running several retail brands or having absorbed neighbouring operators. - Five
/24s spread across203.18,203.20,203.26and203.32rather than one contiguous block is consistent with space accumulated over time rather than a single allocation.

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 1,781 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
