Summary
Quebec Internet
isp eyeball legacy
A Quebec access provider, now operating within the Sogetel group.
What it's used for
- Subscriber access. 2,304 addresses over six prefixes, with one observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- Reverse DNS across five of the six prefixes answers under
sogetel.net, in a fixed positional form —ip064.203-243-199.sogetel.netputs the last octet first and the rest of the address backwards after it. - Three of the
/24s are registered to Sogetel rather than to Quebec Internet, under netnamesQUE18-03278-20180724-CA,-20180725-CAand-20180726-CA: three consecutive days in July 2018. - A third naming stem appears on the two
207.96blocks,AMI-207-96-205-0-24andAMI-207-96-206-0-24, which matches neither the announcer's nor Sogetel's other names. - One observed neighbour. Whatever this network reaches, it reaches through a single upstream.
Interesting
- Sogetel is one of the small telephone companies that survived in rural Quebec after the Bell consolidation, and several of them were founded as cooperatives owned by their subscribers. Buying a regional ISP and folding it in is how those companies moved from telephone service to internet service without building the customer base twice.
- The registry preserves the merge in progress. The AS still announces under its own name, the reverse DNS has already moved to the parent, and the address registrations are split between the two. Three consecutive netname dates in 2018 mark the day the paperwork was done.

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: 454 networks and 1,854 prefixes, as published 2026-11-06. 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.
