AS28166 Telecom South America SAASN lookup: IP ranges, prefixes and network type
AS28166 is the autonomous system number (ASN) announced by Telecom South America SA. It announces 4 prefixes, 40,960 IPv4 addresses in total. Every address inside those ranges is routed by this operator, which is what makes the number the shortest answer to who runs a given address.
AS28166 at a glance
| Organisation | Telecom South America SA |
|---|---|
| Autonomous system | AS28166 |
| Network type | Consumer ISP |
| IPv4 prefixes | 3 |
| IPv6 prefixes | 1 |
| IPv4 addresses | 40,960Summed across every announced prefix. IPv6 is not counted; the numbers are meaningless at that scale. |
| In known VPN ranges | 0 of 3 prefixes |
| In known datacenter ranges | 0 of 3 prefixes |
The last two rows are a second opinion, counted against the X4BNet VPN and datacenter range lists rather than read off the operator name. A network with most of its prefixes in the VPN list is carrying anonymised traffic whatever it calls itself.

What AS28166 means for detection
Addresses on Telecom South America SA are consumer connections: households and small businesses on a fixed line. Our engine classifies them residential, which is the class most likely to be a real customer, and the class fraud tools are least likely to flag. The catch is the residential proxy. An address here can be rented out by whoever holds the connection, and when that happens the ownership data on this page still reads as clean. That is a behavioural signal, not an ownership one.
The verdict for a single address is never settled by the ASN alone. It is the starting point, and IP Detection adds range membership, behaviour and history on top of it before it answers.
