Summary
Lobo Internet Services, Ltd
isp hosting legacy
LOBOIS is Lobo Internet Services, Ltd, a New Mexico fixed-wireless ISP operating out of Albuquerque, with a mailing address in Moriarty and cell sites across the Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Santa Fe and East Mountain areas. It sells wireless internet access along with web hosting and design.
What it's used for
- RIS observes four IPv4 prefixes carrying 9,472 addresses plus one IPv6
/32(2605:6800::/32), against 12 neighbours. That is a small regional access network with a healthy number of upstream and peering relationships, not a carrier and not a content platform. - Every announced prefix is registered in ARIN to Lobo Internet Services itself, under
LOBO-INTERNET-V4-01/02/03andLISL-2. Announcer and registrant match on all of it, and none of the address space is registered to an unrelated third party.
Notable
- Reverse DNS is first-party and reveals the shape of the estate directly. Sampled addresses resolve to
svrcore-<addr>.lobo.net,lobo-ap2.lobo.net(a wireless access point),lb.lobo.net(a load balancer) andnetbox.infra.lobo.net. Access-point and infrastructure hostnames sitting alongside plain subscriber records is exactly what a WISP that also hosts customer sites looks like. - Self-registered space with self-branded rDNS is the strongest available signal that this is a genuine operator running its own network rather than announcing leased address space.
Interesting
- ARIN dates the ASN to 1999, and the company says it has served the area since 1996, so this is one case in this range where the low number really does belong to a long-lived network.

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: 445 networks and 1,817 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
