Cities and regions served
Geolocating the first address of each of the 10 largest ranges places AIRTEL customers in Kigali. Residential blocks are assigned per region, so a lookup of a AIRTEL address usually resolves to the subscriber's metropolitan area rather than an exact street.
Is AIRTEL a VPN or proxy?
No. AIRTEL is classified as a mobile carrier network and none of the 10 sampled ranges appears in the datacenter list, so an address from AS327707 normally belongs to a subscriber's home router or phone. That is the profile of a genuine residential IP — the opposite of a VPN or datacenter proxy. Note that residential proxy networks can still route through consumer devices on any ISP, so a clean network is a strong signal, not a guarantee.

How this page is built
The network type comes from the registry name of AS327707 (telecom, broadband, cable, mobile and similar words mark it as a residential ISP or carrier), ranges from iptoasn routing data, locations from DB-IP Lite (CC BY 4.0) and the datacenter check from the open datacenter list. Figures are recomputed daily.
