AS10700 TECINFO

TECINFO is TecInfo Communications, a locally owned provider based in Leland, Mississippi, serving the Mississippi Delta. RIS observes a single announced IPv4 prefix — 216.220.128.0/19, about 8,192 addresses — one IPv6 /32 (2605:80c0::/32), and 4 BGP neighbours.

What it's used for

TecInfo is a rural access ISP. It started as a dial-up provider in the mid-1990s, moved into wide-area networking for multi-location businesses, and now sells fiber, fixed wireless and LTE broadband plus VoIP and managed IT to homes and businesses across Washington, Bolivar and Sunflower counties. The routing reflects a clean, modern operator rather than a sprawling legacy one: exactly one aggregate announced with no deaggregation at all, which means the company has no need to split its space for traffic engineering and is likely running a straightforward single-region network.

Notable

The IPv6 holding is the interesting detail. A /32 is a full ISP-sized allocation — the same size a national carrier would receive — and the fact that this small Delta operator both holds and announces one puts it ahead of a great many larger US networks that still run IPv4-only. Four observed neighbours is a properly multi-homed regional ISP: enough upstream diversity to stay online, no sign of a transit or wholesale role.

Interesting

The single sampled reverse-DNS name, web.tecinfo.com, is first-party infrastructure and confirms the operator runs its own services in this space rather than reselling it under someone else's naming.
