AS9269 — HKBN-AS-AP Hong Kong Broadband Network Ltd.

AS9269 announces 269 IPv4 prefixes covering 1,491,968 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

AS9269 (HKBN-AS-AP) is held by Hong Kong Broadband Network Ltd., one of Hong Kong's largest residential broadband and telecom providers. It grew out of City Telecom (HK), whose ctinets.com domain still names the subscriber space.

What it's used for

This is a consumer eyeball network. It announces roughly 188 IPv4 prefixes totalling about 1.7 million addresses, and every sampled reverse-DNS record follows the IP-encoded subscriber-pool pattern NNNNNNNNNNNN.ctinets.com (for example 014136137001.ctinets.com) that HKBN uses across its residential and small-business access blocks. The address count is large while the observed neighbour count (about 154) is moderate, the signature of a big access network serving its own subscribers rather than a wholesale transit carrier.

Notable

• The ctinets.com reverse-DNS domain is a City Telecom legacy; City Telecom's fixed-line business was rebranded as Hong Kong Broadband Network.
• The prefix mix spans several APNIC ranges (59.148/16, 61.92/16, 61.238/18, 123.1/17, 210.6.128/18 and more), reflecting years of accumulated consumer allocations.
• HKBN has been an established Hong Kong ISP since the early 2000s; the AS has been announcing space since 2000.

Interesting

HKBN built its reputation on aggressive fibre-to-the-home rollout across Hong Kong high-rise residential estates, which is why the subscriber space is both large and densely numbered.
