What to expect
Three things we hold ourselves to
The reasons customers come back, and what we measure ourselves against.
Speed
Fast to answer, fast to set up
A quote usually back in 1-3 business hours, and leased space live within 24 hours of payment. Nothing sits in a queue waiting for someone to notice it.
Service
No nonsense, and we go the extra mile
A small, focused team that answers you directly, with no handoffs and no ticket queues. We work across the RIPE, ARIN and APNIC regions and know the transfer policies, the market and the network side well enough to tell you what actually applies to your case. If your requirement does not fit a standard package, we build around it.
Security
Everything on paper before anything moves
A written contract that sets out exactly what you are getting, before anything moves. Payment terms and the transfer sequence are agreed up front, and LOA plus RPKI/ROA are configured as standard rather than on request. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, and honest market advice.
Our Story
RTM Networks was started by people who are, frankly, a bit obsessed with the internet. Not the trading side of it first, but the thing itself. Routing tables, the strange and very human politics of address policy, the fact that five registries and a great deal of goodwill keep a global network coherent. That interest came first. The business grew out of it.
Staying close to the technical and policy side of the network for years leaves you with two things you cannot shortcut. You learn how address space genuinely moves: what a registry will accept and what it will bounce, where a transfer stalls, why one block is worth more than another that looks identical on paper. And you end up knowing people: holders sitting on space they stopped using years ago, operators who need it next week, the person on the other end of a transfer ticket. That network was never a sales asset we set out to build. It is what happens when you stay in one industry long enough to care how it works.
It is also the reason we can say yes to most of what we are asked. Knowing registry policy properly means unusual cases do not worry us. Knowing that many people means we can usually source what someone needs rather than putting them on a list. And holding our own capacity means we are not waiting on a third party to deliver. Customers get all three at once, which is why the answer is so often simply: yes, we can do that.

RTM Networks is proudly European. Your IPv4 assets are managed by a Dutch company under EU law, with no exposure to non-European jurisdictions.

Incorporated in the Netherlands as a Besloten Vennootschap (B.V.), fully subject to Dutch and EU law. Founded by Dutch engineers and still run by them today.
EU Jurisdiction
All agreements and the use of your IP space are governed exclusively by Dutch law, and your own if you are based abroad. No overseas jurisdiction, no foreign court orders, no extraterritorial reach.
Bootstrapped & European Vendors
RTM Networks is fully financed by its owners. No external investors, no foreign capital, and no outside influence over how we operate. We exclusively work with European vendors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is leasing IPv4 addresses legal?
Yes, in most regions. IPv4 leasing is widely practiced, though policies vary by RIR. Some RIRs have specific rules around sub-assignments and transfers. We ensure every lease complies with the applicable RIR policies.
How long does an IPv4 transfer take?
We file RIPE transfers within 24 hours of payment, and RIPE usually completes them in 1-3 business days, though registry processing is outside our control. ARIN and APNIC transfers take 2-4 weeks. Timing depends on documentation completeness.
What does 'clean' IP addresses mean?
Clean IPs are not listed on any major blacklists, have no abuse history, and have a clear routing history. We scan against 10+ blacklists before delivery. However, we make no guarantees with regards to routability or e-mail deliverability. Blacklist status and routing acceptance are ultimately determined by third parties outside our control.
Do I need my own ASN?
Not necessarily. Your data center can announce the subnet on their ASN, or we can announce the subnet on our infrastructure or help you apply for your own ASN if you need it.
What is a LOA?
A Letter of Authorization (LOA) is a document that gives you permission to announce a subnet from any data center or upstream provider. An LOA is not provided by default, but can be issued upon request.
Can I use leased IPs with cloud providers?
Yes. Many cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure, Vultr, Hetzner, OVHcloud) support BYOIP (Bring Your Own IP). We have extensive experience onboarding IP space across these platforms and can guide you through the full configuration process.
What is an IRR object, and do I need one?
An Internet Routing Registry object is a public record stating which AS number is entitled to announce a given prefix. Carriers and large networks build their route filters from these records, so an announcement with no matching object is frequently dropped before it propagates. It exists to stop address space being announced by parties with no claim to it. We create and maintain the object for any space you lease or buy through us, alongside the RPKI ROA, which serves the same purpose with cryptographic proof rather than a database entry.
