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.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-11-11, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Reputation
Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
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: 453 networks and 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-11. 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.
