About this network

NEOTEL-UK — a small British ISP run by PRT Systems Limited of Chelwood Gate, West Sussex, trading under the Neo-Tel name. Roughly 3,000 IPv4 addresses.

What it's used for

• Broadband and connectivity for UK customers. One of the two announced ranges is registered in RIPE as an ADSL pool for "single IP addresses for broadband customers", and the little rDNS present sits under neo-tel.net (gw.SITE.neo-tel.net) and cust.as8676.net.
• PRT Systems also holds sibling ASNs used as a transit/hosting AS for a handful of small providers, so this number sits inside a very small multi-AS operation.

Notable

• Name trap: NEOTEL-UK has nothing to do with Neotel, the South African operator. This is an independent West Sussex company.
• Reverse DNS coverage is thin enough that the mix of residential broadband versus small-business connectivity here cannot be pinned down with confidence; the registry remark on the ADSL pool is the strongest evidence either way.
