Summary
AAAWIRELESSIT LLC
isp legacy
AS11253 (AAAWIRELESSIT) belongs to AAA Wireless IT, a family-run fixed-wireless internet provider in Colville, Washington, serving the rural northeast corner of the state. The low AS number is misleading: this is a recycled ASN, issued to a brand-new operator in 2023.
What it's used for
Rural fixed-wireless broadband. RIS observes 1 IPv4 prefix carrying 256 addresses, 1 IPv6 prefix (2607:5c40::/32), and a single observed neighbour. This is about the smallest routable footprint an independent ISP can have: one /24, one upstream, no redundancy. The company sells retail internet plans directly from its own site, at $59.99/month for 15 Mbit down and $79.99/month for 25 Mbit, which is what makes the read an eyeball access network rather than an IT contractor's office space. Speeds in that range, sold by the month in a mountain county, are the economics of point-to-point wireless to homes.
A single /24 cannot number many subscribers directly, so customer addressing almost certainly sits behind carrier NAT, with the public block carrying the network's own infrastructure and any static assignments.
Notable
The registration record deserves a careful read, because one detail looks bad and isn't. The org's ARIN address is a private mailbox (PMB #163), normally one of the tells for an IP-leasing or residential-proxy shell. Everything else contradicts that reading: the single prefix is self-registered to AAAWIRELESSIT-NET1 under the holder's own org, there is no scattered multi-RIR inventory, there are no unrelated third-party registrants, and the business is entirely findable, with a website, a phone number, published pricing and an active Washington state contractor licence. A mailbox address in a small rural town is a small business, not a front.
Interesting
The paperwork shows a network being born. The AAAWI-1 org record was created on 29 June 2023; ARIN issued AS11253 three weeks later, on 19 July 2023. ARIN also handed them a full /32 of IPv6, the standard ISP-sized allocation, so the v6 block is far larger than the v4 one this network will ever need.

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: 442 networks and 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
