AS10865 EBOX-AS10865 - B2B2C Inc
Residential ARIN Cable/DSL/ISP
Summary
B2B2C Inc (EBOX)
isp legacy
EBOX-AS10865 belongs to B2B2C Inc, an independent Canadian internet and VoIP provider that served Quebec and Ontario from 1995 onward and was later folded into the EBOX brand, itself acquired by Bell Canada in 2022.
What it's used for
Consumer and small-business broadband access. RIS shows a small, tightly-scoped network: 3 announced IPv4 prefixes totalling 8,704 addresses, no IPv6, and just 1 observed BGP neighbour. That neighbour count is the important part. A wholesale carrier of any size peers with hundreds of ASes; a single upstream means this AS sits at the edge, buying transit rather than selling it, and exists to carry the operator's own subscribers.
The reverse DNS confirms who is on the other end of that space. Sampled addresses in 66.129.128.0/19 resolve to names such as 66-129-144-5.on.ftth.ebox.net, an Ontario fibre-to-the-home subscriber pool under EBOX's naming scheme, alongside an abacom.com nameserver from another Quebec independent ISP. This is subscriber address space, not hosting or corporate infrastructure.
Notable
The handle is a good example of a name that reads as something it isn't. B2B2C looks like a business-to-business wholesale outfit, and the marketing term suggests an intermediary platform. It is simply the company's legal name, and the network it runs is an eyeball access network.
Interesting
Alongside the /19 the AS carries two stranded /24s in the 205.233/205.236 range, Canadian legacy space consistent with an ISP that has been operating since the mid-1990s and accumulated address blocks across eras.

Classification and threat
Residential Fixed-line consumer ISP. Addresses here are homes.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 455 networks and 1,854 prefixes, as published 2026-11-09. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
