About this network

The SPIDERNET network, registered in Nicosia and held today by PrimeTel PLC, the largest privately owned telecom operator in Cyprus.

What it's used for

• Consumer and business internet access on PrimeTel's Cypriot network. Addresses in this space still carry spidernet.net reverse DNS.

Notable

• An eyeball network: most addresses here terminate at homes and small offices in Cyprus rather than at servers.
• PrimeTel runs its own local and international fibre, with data centres in Nicosia, Limassol and Paphos, so this space sits behind an operator that controls its own transit rather than reselling someone else's.

Interesting

• SpiderNet Services was one of the first ISPs in Cyprus and traded publicly on its own. PrimeTel made a public offer for up to 100% of its shares in late 2008, and the brand has since been folded into PrimeTel. The ASN and its SPIDERNET handle are what survive of the original company.
