Summary
2degrees (Two Degrees Mobile)
isp residential hosting legacy
AS9889 (TWO-DEGREES-AS-AP) is registered to Two Degrees Mobile Limited — 2degrees, New Zealand's third-largest telco. 2degrees began as a mobile challenger and became a full-service operator after its 2022 merger with Vocus New Zealand, which brought the Orcon, Slingshot and related fixed-broadband businesses into the same company.
What it's used for
Do not read "Mobile" in the name as a description of the traffic. RIS sees 14 IPv4 prefixes carrying 33,280 addresses, 1 IPv6 prefix (2401:5c00::/32), and 1 observed BGP neighbour — a single upstream, which for a telco this size means AS9889 is a subordinate AS hanging off the group's main network rather than the group's border. The reverse DNS is where the story is: sampled addresses resolve under vocus.co.nz (including the operator's default-rdns placeholder and an Auckland core router), maxnet.net.nz and maxnet.co.nz colocation and mail hosts, splice.net.nz, nakedplus.co.nz static customer addresses and assorted hosted business domains. That is fixed-line and hosting heritage absorbed through the Vocus NZ side of the merger, not handset space.
Notable
- The address space carries a genuine mix — ISP-style static customer PTRs alongside colocated mail servers and business hosting — so an address in this AS may belong to a broadband customer or to a hosted server. Treat per-address inferences carefully.
- The
default-rdns.vocus.co.nzPTRs are a useful tell: they are what the merged operator's DNS hands out when nothing more specific is configured, and they mark space that is administratively Vocus NZ's regardless of the registered AS name. - Legacy
202.89.x,203.89.xand210.55.xblocks appear alongside123.100.64.0/18, reflecting an operator assembled from several older New Zealand networks.

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.

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.
