AS37358 announces 5 IPv4 prefixes covering 24,576 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

The AS handle BITCO is operated by BitCo, a South African telecommunications provider.

What it's used for

• The address space carries residential and business access traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries pointing to bitcointernet.co.za and netnames like ORG-BA10-AFRINIC.
• With 24,576 IPv4 addresses announced across 35 prefixes and 37 observed neighbours, the ratio suggests a regional access network rather than a pure transit provider, consistent with its role as a cable/DSL/ISP.

Notable

• Registrants largely align with the announcer, with most prefixes registered to BitCo under ORG-BA10-AFRINIC, though one prefix (102.223.96.0/22) is registered to Kaltrade 470 (Pty) Ltd.
• The address inventory is finely subdivided into numerous /23 and /22 blocks, indicating site-by-site or customer-segmented allocation typical of an access network.
