Residential ARIN
Summary
Nexicom Inc.
isp legacy
NEXICOM-CA is Nexicom Inc., an independent telephone company and internet provider serving the Peterborough / Kawartha region of Ontario. The routing data and the reverse DNS agree on what it is: a regional eyeball network selling access to homes and small businesses.
What it's used for
Consumer and small-business internet access over several access technologies at once. RIS sees 15 v4 prefixes totalling 79,872 addresses plus an IPv6 /32, with 27 observed neighbours — a peering count typical of a regional ISP that buys transit and joins a Canadian exchange, not of a wholesale carrier.
The reverse DNS is the decisive evidence, because it names the access technology customer by customer: dyn-dsl-… and dyn-cbm-… (dynamic DSL and cable-modem pools), dyn-wl-bb-… on wireless broadband, stat-… for static assignments, and demarc-gateway for a customer hand-off. Those are subscriber pools, not servers.
Notable
The hostnames also map the footprint: bridgenorth, mb, to, pmbr and a wireless.clarington.ontariohighspeed.ca name all sit in the same Ontario service area, and space appears under both nexicom.net and nrtco.net, reflecting the telephone-company side of the business alongside the ISP brand.
Interesting
Every prefix in the pack is registered in ARIN to Nexicom Inc. itself — the netname handles vary (NEXICOM-5-CA, NEXICOM-76-75-96-0-24 and so on), but the org is the same throughout. Varied netnames with one consistent org is ordinary registry accretion from allocations acquired over time, not the multiple-unrelated-registrant pattern that would suggest leased address space.

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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
