Unclassified ARIN
Summary
FirstDigital Communications
isp telecom hosting
Four netname conventions in the registry, and one perfectly uniform reverse zone over all of it.
What it's used for
- A United States internet and telecom provider. 119,552 addresses across fifty-eight IPv4 prefixes, twenty-six IPv6 prefixes, and sixty-one observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Netnames appear bare as
FIRSTDIGITAL, with the prefix appended asFIRSTDIGITAL-69-169-128, as the acquired brandVERACITYNETWORKS, and as the shortFDC-44. - Two of those labels name a block other than the one they are attached to:
FIRSTDIGITAL-65-181-48sits on65.181.56.0/21. - All eighteen sampled addresses answered, every one as
69-169-144-0.ip.fdtnet.netin form. - The IPv6 announcements climb in doubling sizes from /47 up through /45, /46, /32, /31 and /30.
Interesting
- The registry side is four conventions deep and the DNS side is one, which is the usual split. Registry records are written by hand once per allocation, years apart; reverse zones are generated by one program that does not care where the space came from.
- A netname pointing at a parent block means the label was made for the whole allocation and the announcement is a piece of it. Reading netnames as descriptions of the route is a mistake this network makes easy.
- Sixty-one neighbours against 119,000 addresses is a provider that is both an access network and a peer, which is what a regional carrier looks like when it also sells transit.

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: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
