Summary
Willamette Valley Internet
isp dsl residential legacy
Willamette Valley Internet is an Oregon provider serving small towns in the valley south of Portland, run by the local telephone company.
What it's used for
- Residential and business internet. The reverse DNS names the town and often the technology:
scio-dsl-67-43-75-254.smt-net.comandlyons-calixE7.64-130-203-254.static.wvi.compoint at Scio and Lyons, two Oregon communities, with the latter naming the Calix access equipment the subscriber sits behind.
Notable
- The AS handle is
SCTCNETand three netnames start withSCT, from the telephone company behind the ISP, while the registrant on every block reads Willamette Valley Internet. The service brand and the operating company are two different names for the same organisation. - 17,000 addresses over six prefixes with two observed BGP neighbours. About as small as a network gets while still running its own AS.
- One

Interesting
- Putting equipment identifiers into reverse DNS, as
lyons-calixE7does, is a habit from networks small enough that the operator knows every cabinet by name. It makes the DNS double as an inventory, which is useful right up until the hardware is replaced.

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 1,781 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
