Summary
Huron Telecommunications Cooperative Limited
isp legacy
HURONTEL is Huron Telecommunications Cooperative Limited (Hurontel), an independent telephone cooperative in Huron County, Ontario, Canada. It is a rural incumbent-style access provider: all its space is registered to its own ARIN handles (HURONTEL-1BLK through HURONTEL-5BLK) and the reverse DNS lives under hurontel.on.ca.
What it's used for
Consumer and small-business broadband in rural southwestern Ontario. The AS announces 39 IPv4 prefixes (~30,720 addresses) and one IPv6 /32 (2610::/32), with 11 observed neighbours — an upstream handful, not a peering fabric. Everything about the shape says eyeball network: modest address space, many longer prefixes carved out of a few /19s and /20s, and a short list of transit relationships.
Notable
The reverse DNS is the clincher and it names the access technology, not the customer. Sampled PTRs read pppoe.dyn-96.44.32.5.hurontel.on.ca and ipoe.dyn-96.44.36.5.hurontel.on.ca — dynamic subscriber pools terminated on PPPoE and IPoE concentrators, the standard way a telco co-op numbers DSL and fibre customers. A gateway hostname hsia22-god-gw.hurontel.on.ca uses the industry abbreviation for High Speed Internet Access, and cpe4.bgcdsb.org shows customer-premises equipment at a local institution.
Interesting
The AS also carries PTRs under tcc.on.ca and brktel.on.ca — Tuckersmith Communications and Brooke Telecom, two other Ontario telephone cooperatives. Small co-ops in the region routinely share transit, routing and infrastructure through a common AS rather than each buying their own, so one number ends up carrying several sister networks' subscribers. The space is still self-registered throughout, which distinguishes this from an address-leasing arrangement.

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: 432 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
