Residential ARIN Cable/DSL/ISP
Summary
US Internet Corp
USINTERNET is US Internet Corp, a Minnesota broadband provider best known for its fibre-to-the-premises build across the Twin Cities and for USI Wireless, the fixed-wireless network it ran for the City of Minneapolis. AS10242 is that access network.
What it's used for
Residential and small-business internet in and around Minneapolis. The AS announces 36 IPv4 prefixes totalling roughly 132,100 addresses plus one IPv6 2605:8400::/28, a very large v6 allocation of the kind an access ISP takes so it can hand a /56 or /48 to every subscriber.
The reverse DNS is unusually legible and settles the product mix. Customer space resolves to 74-188-0-5.fttp.usinternet.com, 24-152-128-5.fttp.usinternet.com, 23-88-128-5.fttp.usinternet.com — the fttp label is the fibre access product, and the IP-encoded-into-the-hostname pattern is how access ISPs name subscriber pools. Older space resolves under usiwireless.com, the fixed-wireless side. Core routers show through separately as 200ge-po4.usi-cr01-mpls.usinternet.com — mpls here is the airport code for Minneapolis, a site label, not the protocol.
Notable
This is an eyeball network. 52 observed BGP neighbours against 132,000 addresses is the profile of a regional ISP that peers openly — Minneapolis hosts MICE, one of the larger community exchanges in the US, and a local access provider will pick up dozens of adjacencies there cheaply. That is peering breadth, not transit sales; a wholesale carrier would show hundreds. Read this space as consumer and small-business subscribers in the Twin Cities.
