Summary
Chorus (New Zealand)
isp residential eyeball fiber
Chorus is New Zealand's largest wholesale fixed-line network operator, providing the fibre and copper access that retail ISPs sell to homes.
What it's used for
- Wholesale fibre (UFB) and copper access underpinning residential broadband for New Zealand households.
Notable
- A large "eyeball"-facing network: addresses here ultimately serve home connections, though Chorus wholesales access rather than billing consumers directly.
- Chorus was split out of Telecom New Zealand (Spark) to run the open-access national fibre network; retail ISPs ride on top of it.
Interesting
- Chorus is the dominant builder of New Zealand's government-backed Ultra-Fast Broadband (UFB) fibre rollout.

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 1,775 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.
