Summary
WideOpenWest (Bluemile, Columbus)
hosting isp enterprise legacy
BLUE-AS is registered to WideOpenWest Finance LLC (WOW!), but the network it carries is Bluemile — the Columbus, Ohio data centre, cloud and fibre business WOW! acquired in late 2013. The AS kept the acquired company's identity, and its reverse DNS still says so.
What it's used for
Business and colocation customers out of Columbus, not WOW!'s residential cable subscribers. The rDNS is the giveaway: a border router named BRDR-RT02.226N5th.CMH.bluemilenetworks.net — 226 North 5th Street is the address of the Columbus data centre WOW! took over from Bluemile — and everything else sampled is <ip>.customer.bluemilenetworks.com, the default naming for allocations handed to customers of that facility. WOW!'s mass-market eyeball footprint lives on a different AS entirely.
RIS observes five announced IPv4 prefixes, 12,544 addresses and no IPv6, against just three BGP neighbours. That is an enterprise/data-centre edge, not a wholesale carrier — a transit business of any weight would show neighbours in the hundreds.
Notable
The prefix registrants line up cleanly with the holder: 76.10.192.0/19 and its more-specifics, plus 68.68.16.0/20, sit under BLUE-BLK-1 and BLUE-BLK-2. One outlier, 74.214.31.0/24, comes from a BBN-CUSTOMER-ALLOCATION block — a customer-held or historically assigned prefix carried on the AS. Nothing here has the scattered, third-party-registered look of leased space.
Interesting
The IPv6 gap is conspicuous for a data-centre network: not a single announced v6 prefix.
