Sonatel-as Autonomous System

SONATEL-AS refers to AS8346, an autonomous system registered to Sonatel, a telecommunications operator based in Senegal. Public ASN records describe it as “SONATEL DAKAR” and identify it as a telecom operator; beyond these registry-style descriptions, corporate details are uneven across sources.

AS8346 originates multiple IP prefixes (notably including large 41.82.0.0/15 space reported by IP intelligence databases) and shows active BGP connectivity with upstreams such as Orange (AS5511), Tata Communications (AS6453), Cogent (AS174), and Telecom Italia Sparkle (AS6762). Live routing/IX data also indicates a presence at France-IX Paris, while some prefix entries are marked as RPKI-valid in public datasets.

d-user feedback is fragmented and mostly appears in discussions about Orange/Sonatel service quality and support in Senegal, with both positive and negative anecdotes but no consistent, review-platform consensus for the ASN itself. Because most commentary targets the retail ISP brand rather than AS8346 specifically, the reputation signal is mixed/insufficient.
