Unclassified ARIN NSP
Summary
Snappy Internet & Telecom (SnappyDSL.NET)
isp enterprise legacy
SNAPPYDSL-ASN1 is the network of Snappy Internet & Telecom, a Miami, Florida access provider that trades as SnappyDSL.NET. RIS sees a small, stable access network: 9 IPv4 prefixes, 12,032 addresses, no IPv6, and 28 observed neighbours.
What it's used for
Broadband access and connectivity for Snappy's customers. The company's own site describes it as a business-focused operator selling internet and data connectivity, digital phone, hosting, cloud surveillance and network management, with points of presence in several US data centres and a stated founding year of 1992. The routing backs the access-network reading rather than the hosting one: the sampled reverse DNS returns names like dsl-16-5.bbsector.net and 0-5.cofs.net, which are subscriber-style access pools rather than server hostnames. Both of those domains are Miami connectivity/IT-consulting brands in the same orbit as Snappy, so this is first-party rDNS, not an upstream's default. Note that dsl names the access technology, not the customer type, so they do not by themselves prove residential subscribers.
Notable
The prefix registrants are worth reading carefully, because at a glance they look scattered. Two blocks (68.142.0.0/19, 198.177.28.0/22) are registered to SNAPPYDSL.NET itself. Two more sit under Cogent Communications, which is ordinary provider-assigned space and not a third party. The remaining four are registered to Northeast GA Internet Access on old Sprint-era netnames (SPRINT-CF2BC8-2, SPRINT-CE3D01, and similar) — a single, coherent, findable ISP registrant, not a set of unrelated shells.
Interesting
That combination — one RIR, one non-holder registrant that is itself an ISP, and real first-party reverse DNS — is the opposite of the IP-leasing silhouette (many unrelated registrants across several RIRs with no rDNS). The likeliest explanation is an acquisition or a long-standing transit arrangement whose ARIN records were never refreshed. A 28-neighbour count is likewise far too low for a wholesale carrier and about right for a regional access ISP with a handful of peers and upstreams.
