Summary
Eastern Communications (Eastern Telecommunications Philippines)
isp transit enterprise legacy
AS9658 (ETPI-IDS-AS-AP) is held by Eastern Telecommunications Philippines, Inc., which trades as Eastern Communications — a long-established Philippine telecommunications carrier headquartered in Makati City. It is a facilities-based operator rather than a reseller, and this AS is the one carrying its internet and data-services customers.
What it's used for
This is the largest network in its neighbourhood of the number space, and the only one here with a real carrier signature. RIS sees 596 IPv4 prefixes totalling 287,744 addresses, a single IPv6 /32 (2403:a000::/32), and — the decisive number — 203 observed neighbours. Two hundred peers is not an enterprise or a single-city ISP; it is a network that other networks connect to, and it implies Eastern both peers widely in the Philippines and sells transit downstream.
The reverse DNS shows the customer mix directly. Names under eastern-tele.com split into distinct families: corenet.static (backbone), ids.customers.static and ids.static.service (the "IDS" data-services product that gives the AS its handle), dsl.static (fixed broadband), and unassigned.static for space not yet handed out. Alongside them sit third-party names such as evodsl.com.ph, certaincyber.net and mta.r-svr.net mail hosts — customer-operated services living inside Eastern's space. The mix of static-assigned business circuits, DSL pools and hosted customer systems is what a full-service national carrier looks like.
Notable
- The rDNS records the network's own structure:
corenetfor infrastructure,idsfor data-service customers,dslfor broadband. - Third-party domains in the PTRs (
evodsl.com.ph,certaincyber.net) show what the space carries, not who holds it.

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 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
