Autonomous systems
Holder names and prefix counts come from the RIPE NCC's RIPEstat Data API, fetched on 2026-09-06. Role and confidence come from the evidence linked in each row; "confirmed" means a PeeringDB or RIPEstat record, or the operator's own site, names the operator.
Mobile network codes
The MCC identifies the country and the MNC identifies the operator inside it. Together they appear in the IMSI of every SIM on the network and in device diagnostics; they are how a handset knows which network it is on.
About Telus
The registry holds two ASNs for Telus. AS14663, registered as TELUS-MOBILITY to TELUS Communications Inc., is the one documented as mobile, and at the last probe it announced 3 IPv4 prefixes and no IPv6 prefixes. AS852, registered to the same company, is recorded in a fixed role as the TELUS backbone and announced 678 IPv4 prefixes and 30 IPv6 prefixes at the last probe. PeeringDB has a record for AS852 under the name TELUS Communications, typed NSP, and none for AS14663.
An address whose origin ASN is AS14663 is routed by Telus on the side documented as mobile, and the announced space behind that ASN is small, so such addresses fall inside a few ranges. An address originating from AS852 is routed on the TELUS fixed backbone and is not evidence of a mobile connection. The registry pairs an ASN with the operator announcing it and a recorded role, and it holds nothing about individual addresses or subscribers.
Research note. All telus.com pages (mobility/network, /5g, /coverage-map, /about) returned HTTP 403 to fetches, so generations are NOT from the operator site: the MNC table lists 302-220 with 'LTE 1700 / LTE 1900 / LTE 2600 / 5G 1700 / 5G 3500' and the TELUS-owned Koodo brand page states 'Koodo now offers service on our award-winning 5G network'. Treat generations as table-sourced. Candidate 302-653 dropped: both tables say 'Not operational' (CDMA shut down 31 May 2017, MNC withdrawn). 302-220 covers Telus Mobility, Koodo and Public Mobile. AS14663 (TELUS-MOBILITY) announced per RIPEstat; AS852 is the TELUS backbone. PeeringDB returned 404 (no record) for AS14663 and 429 for AS852. Parent per Wikipedia: Telus Corporation is parent of Telus Communications / Telus Mobility. Other candidates (1691, 5765, 7445, 7861, 8013, 17023, 19190, 54359, 54719, 54759, 54841, 54867, 62969, 393217, 396472, 397569) are TELUS fixed/regional/acquired-ISP or TELUS Health names and were not verified as mobile.
Checking whether an IP belongs to Telus
Look up the origin ASN of the address and compare it with the table above. RIPEstat answers for any address, and the RADB whois mirror lists the routes registered under an ASN.

What is Telus' ASN?
The registry records AS14663, registered as TELUS-MOBILITY to TELUS Communications Inc., as the ASN documented as carrying the Telus mobile network. AS852, registered to the same company, is recorded with a fixed role as the TELUS backbone. Both were announced at the last probe.
What is the MCC/MNC of Telus?
The registry records one code, MCC 302 with MNC 220, written together as 302-220. That code covers Telus Mobility along with the Koodo and Public Mobile brands. No other MCC/MNC value is confirmed for Telus in the registry.
Is an IP from AS14663 a mobile IP?
AS14663 is the ASN the registry documents as mobile for Telus, so an address originating there is routed by that network. Only 3 IPv4 prefixes and no IPv6 prefixes were announced on it at the last probe, and the registry records nothing about individual addresses or the devices using them.
