Unclassified DROP-listed space ARIN
Summary
Midwest Cable
isp telecom hosting
A Midwestern cable operator announcing two blocks registered to a Hong Kong holding company.
What it's used for
- A United States cable and telecom provider. 1,280 addresses across five /24 prefixes, four observed BGP neighbours, and the IPv6 block
2a12:f3c0::/29.
Notable
- Two blocks are netname
HK-ELEVEN-20211018andHK-ELEVEN-20251015, registered to a Hong Kong holding company with anAdministratorrole listed. - Two blocks are netname
MIDWEST, with the registrant written in title case on one and in capitals on the other. - One block is netname
NETUTILS, registered to a third company. - Sampled names resolve under
aceips.com, a domain belonging to none of the above.
Interesting
- The netnames carry a date in year-month-day form, and the second one is from within the last year. Registry labels rarely record when a record was made; these do it in the only field the registrant controls.
- Five /24s from unrelated ranges next to an IPv6 block sized for a regional registry member is a network that acquired its address space piece by piece and its IPv6 all at once.
- The same company name in two capitalisations on adjacent blocks means two forms were submitted at two different times, and nothing in the process compares them.
- A fourth party's domain answering for the addresses puts the reverse zone with whoever operates the equipment rather than whoever holds the registration.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-16, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
