About this network

THENET — TheNet - Internet Services AG, a business-focused internet service provider headquartered in Bern, Switzerland.

What it's used for

• Business connectivity across Switzerland (VDSL through fibre, plus wireless access), SIP/vPBX telephony, and hosted services for corporate customers.
• Reverse DNS on the announced blocks is named-host style (BernTS3.thenet.ch, regula.thenet.ch) — servers and business assignments, not consumer DSL pools.

Notable

• TheNet describes itself as Switzerland's oldest commercial ISP, trading since 1993, and has run its own infrastructure throughout.
• B2B, not eyeball: despite being registered in PeeringDB under a generic "Cable/DSL/ISP" type, the customer base is businesses rather than households.

Interesting

• The network is regional in scope but has held its four-digit AS number since the earliest days of commercial Swiss internet service.
